Compiling and Installing The Kernel

Desember 25, 2007 — Rot-13
  1. Before you do any kind of such work, have a backup of everything.
  2. Obtain the kernel you wish to compile: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ for me this was 2.6.21.4 this was key for getting my 965GM video card working correctly.
    3. # cd to /usr/src
# wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.XX.XX.tar.gz
  3. Edit your lilo.conf config, make the following changes:
    4. image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
label = OldKernel
  4. Next open up
    5. /usr/src/linux/Makefile
Uncomment the line...
#export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
  5. Then cd back to where you downloaded the new kernel too and
    6. # tar zxf linux-2.6.XX.XX.tar.gz
  6. Next we create a symlink to linux from the new kernel:
    7. # ln -s linux-2.6.21.3 linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
  7. It’s a good idea to use the configuration of your current working kernel as a basis for your new kernel. You will be editing it in a second if you nee to change anything before the install, do it then. So we copy the existing configuration to /usr/src/linux:
    8. # make clean && make mrproper
# cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config
  8. Now we run:
    9. # make menuconfig
  9. The kernel configuration menu will pop up, proceed to the bottom where it says:
    10. Load an Alternate Configuration File
Type:
    .config
  10. If you happen to have the same chipset I do, this next step is imperative. Navigate to:
    11. Device Driver -> Character Devices -> Scroll down to /dev/agpgart
Press space to build this module into the kernel. It should show up as a (*) to the left of it.
  11. Exit out of everything when you’re done and it will ask if you’d like to save your changes, select Yes.
  12. Now that we have everything configured let’s go ahead and start to build the kernel:
    13. # make bzImage
# make
# make install
# make modules
# make modules_install

    This could take a while if you have a slow computer.

  13. When all is said and done check to make sure it installed the bzImage to you /boot directory and that lilo.conf was altered to reflect the new kernel compilation.
  14. Reboot and enjoy your new kernel. If something goes wrong, you can always boot back to you’re old kernel and see what happened.
