 Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2004 3:00 pm Post subject: Quick Kernel Re-Compiling Question |
 |
|
Hey everyone,
I finally got everything installed..  for my first linux install everything went smooth as butter...
I did a custom config for my kernel using genkenerl 3.01b6 with the menuconfig option, everyhing went well
However, I realized now that I left out a couple modules that I'd like to have installed.
So my question is, in a straightforward procedure, how could I go about adjusting my config, and recompiling my kernel, preferably through the genkenerl.
Thanks for all the help
--Mark, a complete linux newb... |

One shot:
| Code: | mount /boot
genkernel --menuconfig --install all |
But new genkernel doesn't save your previous .config file. So you'll need to "salvage" the .config file that you use to build your current kernel, and then feed it into genkernel:
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig --kernel-config=<salvagedFile> --install all |
Tip:
After you've done configuring your kernel in menuconfig, "Save Configuration to an Alternate File" (in the bottom of the main menu). Then use this file for future --kernel-config.
Have fun,
-Eddy |
