I am posting to this list because my question has elements similar to
the post on kernel naming answered by Warren Doney.
I have downloaded(from kernel.org), installed and recompiled kernel
2.2.14 to replace kernel 2.2.13-7mdk in my LM6.1.
I thought I should make a new boot disk but when I try mkbootdisk 2.2.14
I get: /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 does not exist. This is true enough and the
/boot directory refers only to bzImage(the new kernel) while containing
references to system map, module-info and vmlinuz(all 2.2.13-7mdk).
/usr/src contains directories linux, linux-2.2.13 and linux-2.2.14.
Questions. How do I make a boot disk for the new kernel? How do I
remove references to the old kernel? Do I rename bzImage to
vmlinuz-2.2.14? If I uninstall 2.2.13 kernel, headers and source using
kpackage, would that do it?
Can I convert the .tar.gz file for 2.2.14 to an rpm?
All inexpert questions I know but help would be appreciated.
