RE: RE: [newbie] Compiling the 2.6.11 Kernel ?
My "idiot sheet" says: "make clean bzImage modules" to build the kernel "make modules_install install" to install the kernel. Hopefully this this put the new kernel in your bootloader, and set it to the default next time you boot. I have had occasional trouble with the default bit. Hopefully it will work!

Thanks Hugh, That would be great.

The make has an install option for the kernel as well as the modules. Something like "make install modules_install". My recollection is that the order of the parameters is very important - but I cannot remember what that order is!

[newbie] Compiling the 2.6.11 Kernel ?
I am trying to compile my first kernel (2.6.11) using the source. The distro this is for is Mandrake 10.0. I have had a look through the README file but reading this has me unsure on the correct process. Firstly I untar'd it an placed it in '/usr/src' >From there I ran 'make configold' as root and make the additional changes as required. Once this was complete I did a 'make' then 'make modules_install' All as gone great so far with no reported errors. I copied the'bzImage' from ../arch/i386/boot directory and placed this in /boot as vmlinux-2.6.11 >From here doubt has crept in - am I meant to copy anything else into the /boot directory ? I then edited the lilo.conf and added a line to look at the 'vmlinux-2.6.11' image, now what about the line that has the initrd=...what do I need to do here ? Thanks in advance for the help.
