The README file at the top level of the kernel sources is reasonable. There's also a kernel compilation HOWTO, but it's fairly out of date, as far as I can recall. > I am trying to compile my own kernel, (2.4.22 - I did not go too far - > no source altering, just made few modifications to .config file). > However, I had few problems - when I made "make modules_insall" it was > trying to make a module belong to the current kernel. You need to run 'make modules_install' at the top level of the kernel source tree you're trying to install. Look at the Makefile - what are VERSION, SUBLEVEL, PATCHLEVEL and EXTRA_VERSION? > ( Thanks god for having this Lilo so I can choose the kernel to boot > from - otherwise, I prefer not to think about it.... ) Otherwise you would have to boot from a rescue disk (or distribution CD) and fix your kernel.
