make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install
This may take some time and, as usual, it is greatly influenced by the type of machine you are using.
- make dep, make clean: we need to clean up the sources of previous compilations, and if you have just installed new springs, you can also avoid these steps, but in any case it is good practice to run them (you never know ...).
- make zImage: compile the kernel core
- make modules, make modules_install: Compile and install the modules in the right place.
Ulrime The steps are:
- Rename the old kernel (usually called vmlinuz) Old extension (you never know, might still serve, at least until you are sure that thou art the new kernel functions properly. In this case, delete).
- NB If you can not find the directory where is located the old kernel, edit the lilo.conf file located in the etc directory ...
- cp / usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage / vmlinuz (copy the new kernel in / usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot / - ... the bzImage command - in the root directory and vmlinux calls it, just like the old one).
- lilo (LInux used to upgrade the loader for it to load the new kernel).
- shutdown-r now (will reboot the machine)
If after restarting the PC did not unusual messages and you are sure of the stability of the new kernel, you should delete the old directory to linux, or the 2.0.x. Note that start-ups could see some error messages claiming that the presence of modules "char-major-10", "net-pf-4" and "net-pf-5. You can safely ignore them, but if you feel uncomfortable, edit the file / etc / modules.conf and add the following lines:
alias char-major-10 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
At the next reboot everything will be settled.
