Hello;
if you are going to use the same directory as the original then you need to
get rid of the old modules.
( mv /lib/modules/2.4.3-12 /lib/modules/2.4.3-12-old )
I have a directory called 'updates' that I use for new kernels
copy kernel source and patches:
cp linux-2.4.13.tar.bz2 /updates
cp patch-2.4.13-ac2.bz2 /updates
cd /updates
unzip both files:
bunzip2 *.bz2
untar the kernel source:
tar -xvf *.tar
now we have a 'linux' directory
move the patch file into it and rename it:
mv *ac2 linux
mv linux 2.4.13-ac2
ok now patch the source:
cd 2.4.13-ac2
cat *ac2 | patch -p1
clean start:
make mrproper
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs/*686.config .config (check this - from memory)
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
edit /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf
add 'vmlinuz-2.4.13-ac2' stanza
make modules
make modules_install
make install ( this will run lilo at the end)
I like to re-run lilo with -v -v ( lilo -v -v ) to check for errors
reboot
I have 5 different kernel trees in /updates, and 5 sets of modules in
/lib/modules.
