 Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2003 5:57 am Post subject: Recompiling the kernel instructions...input desired... |
 |
|
I would appreciate any constructive critique of the following instructions for recompiling the kernel.
The installation instructions referred to below may be found at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=37404. They are NOT the official Gentoo installation instructions but rather one's I am working on to make Gentoo easier to install.
Any input, corrections, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
| Code: |
The steps outlined below may be followed to recompile the kernel after a successful
installation of Gentoo. Numbers in parantheses correspond to the number of the
installation step found in the installation instructions. Please refer to those
instructions for explanatory notes dealing with those steps.
01. cd /usr/src/linux
02. cp .config /tmp
03. make mrproper
04. cp /tmp/.config /usr/src/linux
05. cd /usr/src/linux (40)
06. source /etc/profile (41)
07. make menuconfig (42)
08. make dep (43)
09. make clean (44)
10. make bzImage (45)
11. make modules (46)
12. make modules_install (47)
13. mount /dev/hdb1 /boot
The boot partition is not mounted automatically by Gentoo. As a result you
must mount the boot partition before being able to copy the bzImage to it.
Please note that /dev/hdb1 corresponds to the first partition of the second
drive in the example configuration used in the installation instructions. If you only
have one drive and you have installed Gentoo unto partitions on that one drive,
your boot partition will have a different device name (such as /dev/hda1).
Just substitute whatever device name is assigned to the boot partition for your
particular setup in place of /dev/hdb1.
14. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot (48)
15. umount /boot
16. reboot

| you should run a make oldconfig to add new options to .config if they exist, also why not run make install it now works (almost) for grub |

I think I saw "make oldconfig" somewhere. I'll have to look that one up and see what it's about.
As for "make install" with Grub I'm not sure what that is about but I will certainly do some looking around to find out more.
Thanks for the ideas David. Good input!
