And if you do a make mrproper it deletes that. For someone new to compiling kernels, deciding what to do in make config can be very confusing. So it may make sense to use a default kernel config from a distribution. I actually use a script to build kernels, so I only have to type one command to do it. Once I have a kernel .config that I like, I save it to /boot with the kernel rev number, like /boot/config-2.4.25. If I want to compile a new kernel I just copy this script linux-2.4.25.sh into the /usr/src/linux dir and run it ./linux-2.4.25.sh #!/bin/sh rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.25 && rm -f /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25 && rm -f /boot/System.map-2.4.25 && make mrproper && cp /boot/config-2.4.25 /usr/src/linux/.config && make oldconfig && make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.25 && cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25 I have symbolic links in boot for vmlinuz-2.4.25 - > vmlinuz System.map-2.4.25 -> System.map Because I use grub there is nothing else to do except reboot after running this script. There is one thing I do slightly differently, I use the gcc 2.95.3 for my kernel builds, because it is very stable, and is what the kernel folks actually recommend as a compiler for kernels. So my script does this in the make lines: make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/cc dep && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/cc bzImage && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/cc modules && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/cc modules_install && -- Doug >On Fri, 2 Apr 2004, Doug Sutherland wrote: > >[.] > > You need to do something like this: > > > > make config > > make dep > > make bzImage > > make modules > > make modules_install > > > > When the make config is run, there will new options in console > > drivers for speakup.
