 |
|
In the gentoo guide (which is awseme by the way), it specifies what to do to complie x86 with a 2.4 kernel, but not the 2.6 kernel.
for 2.4, it suggests:
make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install
what should I do? TIA. |

During the install, when it's time to do the kernel, just do:
emerge <kernel-sources>
cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig
make bzImage modules modules_install install
it may give you an error at the end saying the system might be
unbootable, but that's just because you haven't installed a bootloader
yet, so don't worry about it.
the 'install' target will place the kernel, config, and System.map file
and related symlinks in /boot for you.

this says to use the other method (same as amd64).
Which do I use? I don't want to screw up my system now (I started at stage1). Thank you! |

I'm sorry I can't help more. I have always used make && make modules_install in my 2.6. installs and it has worked just fine. Now that I checked the installation guide it puts it like this:
| Code: | (For amd64-based systems, 2.6 kernel)
# make bzImage modules modules_install
(For other systems, 2.6 kernel)
# make && make modules_install |

I donno where you saw that, but you need to build the image aka make bzImage ( also make bzlilo, but the kernels today are huge, so don't bother doing it ).
Also you need to build and install the modules.
Btw a clean doesn't hurt, so my advice is: | Code: | | make clean && make bzImage modules modules_install |

In the instructions for the 2.6 kernel it states that:(paraphrased)" make now includes the previous make dep clean bzImage modules"
so make && make modules_install is correct for 2.6 kernel
