Hi All,
My Hardware :
A PC with AMD k5 processor .Hard disk capacity 6GB
Goal :
My Goal is to intall 2.6.5 in my PC.
What I have and done:
a) I have redhat 7.3 installed in my PC with boot loader as GRUB.
b) Downloaded kernel 2.6.5 from kernel.org
c) Extracted the src /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/
d) Did make config.
e) Sucessfull build.
What I have done in /boot directory :
a) I copied the new config file ie config-2.6.5
b) I copied System.map-2.6.5 and made System.map point to it.
c) Copied vmlinux-2.6.5
d) In grub directory edited the menu.lst file to include 2.6.5 without adding the initrd image line.
Now when I reboot two options are displayed I selected my new kernel ie 2.6.5 saying that vmlinuz is not found ies perfectly true . I dont know how to make vmlinuz for the new kernel . Please anyone can help me.
Also please let me know the steps I am following are right or wrong ? if I am missing any please let me know what are they.
Thanks
Rakesh
