I am trying to build the 2.4.28 kernel from source downloaded from kernel.org on a RH9 system. I need to do this because fedora-legacy has not released a kernel that fixes the latest ELF load vulnerability. I've run the make commands make xconfig make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install I copied the bzImage file to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.28 and the vmlinux file to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.28. I ran /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd 2.4.28. I added a stanza into /etc/grub.conf to load the new kernel. But the system won't boot the new kernel. It gets to the point where it is trying to mount the / filesystem and panics. Is there a good HOWTO on building a kernel on Redhat? I'm obviously missing something but I don't know what. I've read the Appendix A of the Redhat 9 customization guide but I still don't get where I've messed up. Thanks for any pointers. Barry Barry S.
