tyme Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 attempting to compile your own kernel for an RPM-based distro can be a very dangerous thing. have you checked to see if there are any updated kernel RPM's instead of taking this route?

Guest NewMDKguy2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 yeah there are new kernel rpms, i think.. but i want to modify or tweak some of the things in this one, which i've already done, its still compiling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 thing is you have to make sure you have everything in that kernel that mandrake expects to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewMDKguy2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 well, i intend to keep the old kernel incase this one messes up, its finished compiling. how do i install this.. note- i probably need step by step instructions. the kernel is currently compiled in my home directory: /home/richard/linux-2.6.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I compile and install the vanilla kernel w/ only the supermount patch on mandrake all the time. No biggy. What is specific to mandrake or rpms? either do; make install or http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4595 cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-VERSIONcp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-VERSION cp /usr/src/linux/.config /boot/config-VERSION mkinitrd /boot/initrd-KERNEL-VERSION.img KERNEL-VERSION follow the rest/edit the bootloader etc....
