Hi all,
Ok, I need to recompile my kernel to add in the 'scan all LUNS for
each SCSI device' option - by default this is off, but the tape
changer I've just been landed with appears to need it (at the moment
I can tar to /dev/st0 but can't load/unload using /dev/sg5 :-(
So, I just wanted to ask a few questions...
- Is there a resource where 'how to compile a kernel' is well-
documented? I've spent some time looking around the RH site, but
couldn't find anything useful
- I've downloaded the 'kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL.src.rpm' from RHN,
and done a 'rpm -Uvh' on it. That's created lots (and I mean *lots*)
of patch files as well as a linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 file in /usr/src/
redhat/SOURCES. Is the linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 pre-patched ? Or do I have
to apply the patches once I've untarred the file ?
- It's been a while since I made a kernel, and it all looks
different. Is it just:
make menuconfig (the machine is 5000 miles away, no X...)
make
make install
... or do I need to fiddle with initrd and alter /boot/grub.conf ?
What happened to mrproper ? :-)
- Anything else I ought to know ? I'd really rather not bring down
the server, since it's so far away...
Cheers,
Simon
