Now that I'm actually using my new kernel (as opposed to when I was using the old kernel with the new one not hooked into lilo) AND I've update locales (which updated two modules: libc6, libc6-dev) AND I've added NVdriver to /etc/modules I no longer have to load the driver by hand each time. > The standard (as opposed to the Debian) procedure for kernel compiling > ends with the two makes: > make modules > make modules_install > Did you remember the last step? (Which must be run as root.) Yup. This is how I recompile my kernel. Step One: backup files. .config System.map bzImage lilo.conf /lib/modules all go into a tar ball vmlinuz (which is redundant, but that's what I do). Step Two: configure kernel cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install edit lilo.conf to point to new bzImage (or vmlinuz) lilo Step Three: reboot Step Four: uname -a to make sure I'm running the right kernel emma :) -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
