Hi [I hope this message wasn't sent twice. I had problems subscribing to the list]
I have a redhat 7.3 system. It has a P4 processor, and it seems that the default kernel performs really bad with it, so a kernel compilation seems to be required. However I have a principle of keeping my system only of RPMs. So I decided that this is a time to figure out how to build a decent kernel rpm. I looked at the kernel package and it has a frightening amount of scripts. I could not figure out what it does. I tried various command-line parameters, but to no avail. Requirements: 1. minimal modifications to the .src package. It would be quite nice if there were none at all. I'm just getting ready for the next time I'll fill an urge to change a kernel, and will like to try a different RH kernel package. 2. Kernel optimised for my CPU 3. my own .config file (where exactly do I put it?) 4. build just one kernel. Maybe a .src and -doc package, but I only need one kernel image package, and I don't want to waste CPU time and disk space on anything else. What do I need to do? -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
