Hello
After much scratching of heads by some senior IT persons I've finally
worked out how to compile a 2.2.5 kernel. The kernel compile for a
166Mhz machine was/is as follows from a tar.gz source (apologies to
those who can stand on their heads and do this)
cd /usr/src
rm linux
tar zxvf linux-2.2.5.tar.gz
(assuming that the linux-2.2.5.tar.gz file is in /usr/src -
copy/paste in X-windows)
mv linux linux-2.2.5
ln -s linux-2.2.5 linux
cd linux
make xconfig (in X-windows)
at this point it pays to wake up a bit.... - ... there is a
default setting for multi-processor support which is of no use
whatsoever for the normal PC user. Watch out for it !! Select the
processor that suits your own needs.
make dep
make clean
make bzImage --ignore-errors
make modules
make modules_install
make bzlilo
And then reboot and get ready for the worst.
I should point out that SuSE do not recommend or support this kind
of DIY computing so you have been warned. So far I haven't found
what's broken. That comes next.
I thought that someone else might like to know what to do with the
2.2.5 kernel compile.
Thanks
