Hi,
I don't know the difference between kernel-source-2.4.13-2mdk.i586.rpm and
kernel-2.4.13-2mdk.src.rpm, I didn't look at their content list.
I just know that after installing the the ...src.rpm I didn't have anything
new under /usr/src/ as expected but I did after installing 'kernel-headers'
and 'kernel-sources'.
I think the right steps to recompile (under X Windows and as root) are:
cd /usr/src
ls -l (check /usr/src/linux points to your brand new 2.4.13)
cd linux
make mrproper
make xconfig (here is where you customize your kernel, it can take you a long
time)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-mdk-new. Then
go to /etc/lilo.conf add something like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-2mdk-new
label=newlinux
root=/dev/hde6 <- change to your root partition
read-only
optional
vga=788
append="devfs=mount quiet"
And change
default=newlinux
and ensure timeout is enough for you to change your mind...
timeout=100
Save the changes a do:
lilo
And reboot your new kernel!
If something goes wrong reboot again but choose 'linux' instead of 'newlinux'
at lilo.
Please, correct me if some step is wrong.
Jose
