I usually build my own kernels, and run them on an otherwise all-RedHat system. The recent failure of a GLibC update to run on anything other than a recent RH kernel brings a question to mind: why would I want to run a Red Hat kernel?
There's the convenience factor, of course, but stable kernel releases (I don't run the testing versions) are infrequent, so not much time is spent building them.
What are the benefits of running RH's kernels as opposed to the plain-vanilla current stable kernel?
Thanks.
i used to build my own kernels, but since moving to rh9 i have been confounded by the initrd.img. i can't seem to get that portion of the build to work, so my stock kernels don't boot.
i haven't had much luck with building the initrd.img manually, either.
What command did you use to build initrd.img (which is not the right
name) manually? inittd.img files names would normally show up with
the kernel version in their names.
