Re: compiling the kernel
I've written a Mini-HOWTO on compiling the kernel: http://www.eclectic-cheval.net/linux/kr-mhowto.txt I've posted it here for two reasons: 1) In case it will help, and 2) To get suggestions from those who know more than I do.

Re: Compiling new kernel, lilo problem
Check out man mkinitrd. seems like I have always just given it the kernel version and the imgfile name needed. I guess the real question is do you really need an initrd? Unless you need something like scsi drivers that you compiled as modules that need to be availible before the file systems are availible you should not need one. If unsure, comment out the line in lilo that refers to it, run lilo again and reboot.

That'll kinda depend. If you compiled the kernel with the device drivers as modules, and not directly into the kernel, and any of those drivers/modules are needed for the initial startup, it could cause problems.

Re: Compiling the Kernel
Ok.. I downloaded the patches... This is going to sound dumb but how do I install them :DOk... I feel like a newbie again ::grinz:: BTW, I also tried compiling the latest egcs source (1.1.2 I think). I'm getting a signal 11 error after I think 70% + complete with the build (make bootstrap). No issues with the config. Looks good. I read the FAQ on signal 11 errors. Is there perhaps a list of software that I should have upgraded prior to compiling egcs? I realize that it could be hardware related (the FAQ suggested this). I'm going over everything to rule that out. Thx for the help!
