Download a kernel from kernel.org 2. Extract it into /usr/src 3. Apply some minor patches 4. Copy my .config into the kernel sourcetree (alternatively "make config", "make menuconfig" or thelike - in this case, you can of course omit 5.) 5. make oldconfig 5. make -j4 5. make modules_install 6. make install 7. reboot In short: a simple kernel compile/install. Your kernel will live peacefully alongside with your distribution kernel(s). For those who just want to try: a good starting point for a customized .config would be the .config of your distribution kernel (see /boot). When I'm configuring a kernel for a new machine, I usually load and connect my stuff and do a "make localmodconfig" and take this as a starting point for further customizing, as I'm (more or less) familiar with what I need and where I must look for it in the .config. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
