After unpacking linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2 into /usr/src/ to produce the directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.4, you need to manually create the links: /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.4 /usr/src/linux-2.6.4/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.4/asm-i386 The latter link used to be auto-created when you do a "make menuconfig", but not anymore. 2. Read the instructions in /usr/src/linux/README and /usr/src/linux/ Documentation/Changes, to determine what utilities need to be installed first, before 2.6.4 can be built properly. For example you need to install module-init-tools, first, since this supercedes the old modutils package. 3. When all prerequisites are installed, you can do, the following in /usr/src/linux: make menuconfig make # no need for make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz cp System.map /boot vi /etc/lilo.conf #if using lilo lilo -v reboot Enjoy!
