Well, that's probably right if you want to use several versions of one
kernel. I've nevery tried that. I am running only one version of a kernel,
and as a backup I have an older kernel version. My lilo.conf looks like
this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5
label=Linux2.2.5
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.1
label=Linux2.2.1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34
label=Linux2.0.34
append=mem=128M
~ make modules_install
~ depmod -a
~ cd arch/i386/boot
~ ./install.sh 2.2.5 bzImage ../../../System.map /
that script is just to copy the image to /boot/vmlinux-x.x.x and
System.map? or does it also add the lines to lilo.conf?
Well, actually this script calls only installkernel, see man
installkernel:
The new kernel is installed into /boot/vmlinuz-{version},
a link is made from /boot/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and
the previously installed kernel is available as
/boot/vmlinuz.old. If you use LILO, /etc/lilo.conf should
contain entries for the images /boot/vmlinuz and
/boot/vmlinuz.old. ({version} is the new kernel's ver
sion.)

Re: kernel and modules compiling
Hi Horacio, I usually clean my module directory before I reinstall the the kernel modules to get rid of old stuff in there. But beware: If you are using PCMCIA or VMWARE, you will need to reinstall the PCMCIA and VMWARE modules. After I install my modules using make modules_install I run depmod -a This tells modprobe which modules depend on each other. I also install the kernel using a small shellprogram provided (you will need to switch that to executable using chmod +x) The last thing I do is that I run lilo. My procedure: make bzImage make modules # rm -rf /lib/modules/2.2.5 # Only if you are very sure about this! make modules_install depmod -a cd arch/i386/boot ./install.sh 2.2.5 bzImage ../../../System.map / lilo Alex.

kernel and modules compiling
Hello Debian-user, 20 minutes ago, I did a re-compile of the kernel and modules. I'm new to debian, have played with Linux for more than half a year. Somebody had just talking about kernel compiling here in this list: Is this easy enough? O.K., my experience: Following the instructions of README in /usr/src/linux, compiling the kernel is easy. Even with make config, since there're lot of '?'s, and my box, except the sound card, is very normal, config is not difficult. And make dep; make; cp .. /boot/.., all are very straight. Documented very well. But then modules. Following modules.txt, make modules, make modules_install are ok.. Then reboot: a lot of unresolved .! In fact, I've experienced this, so I went to /lib/modules/... did a depmod -a. My question is why this is not documented in the modules.txt? It only says depmod -a is need in init script. But seems this is not the case in my box.(?) I need do this right after modules installed. Then reboot: linear and char-major-10 and net-pf-5 trouble! I must say I'm an accomplished guesser 8), I went to /etc, do a ls, guess on the file names, bingo! vi modules, comment linear; vi conf.modules Guess again (with help of comments), uncomment net-pf-5, add a char-major-10 off. I must say I do not understand even one bit of this file. But my guess works! Hehe, My question again: why not documented? I know this surely's been documented somewhere since it's very important. But I'd like to see it in the modules.txt or modules.Debian.txt 'cause that's why I will look for the answer when compiling kernel and modules and encountering problems. I do not think I should read all of the man pages and info pages before I could say that I do not want that 700k kernel and want a 300k one. At least a link, like in the README says when do modules, read modules.txt, right? It's clear, hence easy, but not enough. Best regards, Zhaoway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well done, you have passed the secret test :) Seriously though, it is a very valid point - I found out purely by accident what to do. These sort of blatant omissions are not good... Cheers Dave
