Regarding actual kernel recompilation, if you extract the "kernel".tar.gz file and Change directories into the root directory of the archive, you will see either a README, or INSTALL file in there, open this and after you've read a few pages you will find the actual recompile steps. This is a very good document and the document I always refer to in times of need. It is worth noting that as another has stated, you should yum install a new genuine Redhat kernel, unless you have an explicit need for a generic kernel (I have had Such a need in the past when I had driver issues with a Redhat kernel). Regards, Geofrey. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Martini 1 Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2007 5:30 a.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: How to upgrade the kernel I'm running Linux kernel 2.6.18-8.el5 on an RHEL 5 distribution. I downloaded the 2.6.23.1 kernel from kernel.org. Does anyone have a good and accurate step by step process on how to upgrade the kernel? Will I need to upgrade anything else besides the kernel itself? Thank you.
