Just: Install the kernel-source rpm for the appropriate kernel version. Here are the steps I used recently on a Red Hat 8.0 system: # rpm -Fvh kernel-source-2.4.18-17.8.0.i386.rpm # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-17.8.0/ # Edit the Makefile, and set EXTRAVERSION to something unique) # make mrproper # cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config .config (use the config file specific to your machine- i386, 586, 686, etc. The config files in the configs directory are the ones used to create the Red Hat kernels. Select one, and copy it to .config) # make config/menuconfig/xconfig (select one, and enable your options) # make dep # make bzImage && make modules && echo "Finished!" # make modules_install # make install Check grub/lilo config and make sure the new kernel has been entered. reboot, and select the new kernel. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9yd7An/07WoAb/SsRAsmCAJsGdKBV65hV5EmmTB8fL64K2QZe3gCdFyeq ZaBJWmRKuhJ3y5MNMdsrfig= =jY+p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
