 Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2003 7:25 am Post subject: recompiling kernel (procedures) |
 |
|
hello
my question may already be addressed in another post, but as of yet, i'm unable to find a proper answer...
after 4-5 tries of reinstallation, i've finally got gentoo up and running in kde  but i wish to add more functionality/modules to my kernel. is there a proper method of recompiling a kernel w/o losing all the config files and screwing stuff up?
thank youfor your time. |

| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
<make changes and exit>
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
mount /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage
umount /boot
reboot

no it shouldn't cause any changes to the above code. you'll be manually specifing the options you'd like instead of having genkernel do it for you.

When I recompile my kernel, can I use genkernel --config instead? also, since I used genkernel, /boot doesn't have a "bzImage"...only kernel-KV and initrd-KV...so what should I backup before recompiling?
thanks |
