Re: [expert] thinkpad 600e
Ah, so /boot/config is where the running kernel config lives? That was what was confusing me. I thought that the .config text in /usr/src/linux*/ was the for my existing kernel. I'm going to work on that after reading email. Thanks Rolf! On Mon, 4 Nov 2002, Rolf Pedersen wrote: You should do make mrproper first.

I'm interested in simply making changes in my existing kernel. I've loaded the kernel sources and followed the directions but things always seem to have problems. Here's what I did today: log on as root, cd to /usr/src/linux-2.4xxx make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage cp bzImage to /boot and update lilo to reflect changes. Now, I didn't change anything in the configuration - I just wanted to see what would happen. After rebooting, I noticed quite a few errors that I don't get with my original kernel. I thought that the .config file would represent my existing kernel - is this correct? Please take it easy on me - I know it's something simple because a lot of people are able to do this relatively common task - I'm just not getting something. Thanks all!
