Fwd: Compiling and installing a 2nd Kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




hi list ,


go through configuring linux in kernelnewbies.org,you will get your answer.

you have to create a symbolic link for the other kernel you are installing.

after you run 'make bzImage' copy bzImage to /boot, and add the new kernel data in
lilo.conf. don't forget to run lilo.

Hi!

As you may have already guessed from the topic of my message, I'm quite a
beginner in kernelprogramming.
I downloaded the 2.5.69 kernel tree and unpacked it into my home directory.
At the moment I'm using the 2.4.18 kernel, which is located as usual in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.
My question is: How can I compile and install the 2.5 kernel without
overwriting the modules and bzimage of the current 2.4 one, so that I can
switch back if something goes wrong with the 2.5?
I guess the bzimage only needs to be copied to save it, but what about the
modules? Just rename the directory recursively?
And please excuse me if I asked for something that has been discussed here
too much already, but I couldn't find an answer for my question anywhere else.


TIA, Steffen Menne
