First
/usr/src/linux # make menuconfig
Then
1.) /usr/src/linux # make dep
2.) /usr/src/linux # make clean
3.) /usr/src/linux # make bzImage
4.) /usr/src/linux # make modules
5.) /usr/src/linux # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
6.) /usr/src/linux # lilo
7.) /usr/src/linux # make modules_install
8.) /usr/src/linux # cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.18
My old kernel is already saved under vmlinuz.old ;-)

Then, how can it happen, that after configuring a minimal kernel I get such
messages when booting like "failed services: i4l_hardware, i4l, route etc... " ?
My "minimal" kernel was configured without net, ISDN, sound etc. The message
must be driven by other means ( my suspiction, rc.config ? )

OK for my test with the minimal kernel. But what does that mean ? Should I
rename rc.config for the time I am experimenting with the new kernel ?
