Building and running kernel in a virtual machine?

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

 



I have got a kernel using this command:-

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

I don't have a separate system. So I have to make it, build the
vmlinuz and then execute it using QEMU.

Please help me how to build the kernel and execute it using QEMU. I
guess the make would build the 'vmlinuz' only. Where to get the initrd
from?

Also, I think I should not run 'make install' at all because that
might replace my working kernel. Isn't it? I highly appreciate any
help because these are my first steps into the world of Linux kernel.
