Dear
First, my configuration, PII 266, 196MB RAM, RedHat 7.1, Kernel 2.4.2-2
(default), gcc 3.0.
The partitions are /dev/hda1 (/), /dev/hda2 (swap) and other aux
partitions (/home, /usr, /var, etc.)
Well, did the standard installation procedure of RedHat 7.1, got GCC
3.0, recompiled and installed (of course the GCC 2.96 was removed), and
after that compiled and instaled many softwares through 'rpm --rebuild'
and './configure, make, make install', all that without errors.
I got Kernel 2.4.6, unpackage in /usr/src, and the following steps was
done (reference is: "Securing and Optimizing Linux" -
http://linuxdoc.org)
1) make mrproper && make menuconfig
Configured with modules support.
2) make clean && make dep
3) make bzImage
4) make modules
5) make modules_install
6) cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.6
7) cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.6 && cd /boot
8) linked correctly the System.map and vmlinuz for
Kernel 2.4.6.
Old kernel (2.4.2-2) didn't removed.
9) /etc/lilo.conf added with other images
10) lilo -v run (without errors)
All steps done without errors.
When booted machine, choose the 2.4.6 kernel, and then:
Loading linux ........
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel
and stops that, nothing more, system is stoped.
For 2 yars when I need recompile the kernel, I do that manner.
If some new step MUST be done for 2.4 series, and I missed, please
reply to me,
Anything to help me, please do that.
many thanks
Claudio Miranda
