So if someone finds something wrong, correction will be apreciated! 8-) I've downloaded the rpm's from Mandrake (actually kernel-source-2.2.16-9mdk) and rpm-headers also; install them and you'll get the /usr/src/linux directory. Have a look at the readme file. You'll have to: # cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make xconfig (i prefer the graphical app; you can use the text one (menuconfig, if i'm right) You can load a configuration file, modify some things and save it with a different name... make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install And then you'll have to copy or move the file /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot (you can rename it for, for instance, kernel-2.2.16-test10). Then you have to edit /etc/lilo.conf (what i've done is to add that new kernel; once i've tested it i change the default one). Here is my lilo.conf (hope that helps!): boot=/dev/sda6 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal default=2.2.16-2 keytable=/boot/es-latin1.klt lba32 prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message image=/boot/vmlinuz label=2.2.15 root=/dev/sda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img read-only image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.16-2 label=2.2.16-2 root=/dev/sda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img read-only image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.16-1 label=2.2.16-1 root=/dev/sda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe root=/dev/sda7 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=" failsafe" read-only other=/dev/sda1 label=dos table=/dev/sda other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe > I did the following as > root: > cd /usr/src > mv linux linux.old > tarxzf /usr/src/linux-2.2.16.tar.gz > mv linux linux-2.2.16 > ln -s linux-2.2.16 linux > cd linux > make config > > When I did the above, I saw the following: > > rm -f include/asm > (cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) > /bin/sh scripts/Configure /arch/i386/config.in > scripts/Configure: scripts/Configure: No such file or directory > make: *** [config] error 127 > > I tried recompiling the kernel in Red Hat and it worked, but Mandrake is > stubborn (by the way, I finally got my CD-RW working).
