KERNEL COMPILATION

needed packages: gcc, ncurses-devel and patch. If they are not installed, run the command up2date gcc, up2date patch and up2date ncurses-devel to install.

Kernel compilation 2.6.x series

1) Download the latest kernel from http://kernel.org/. It's recommended to download the GnuPG signature and use it to verify the authenticity and validity of your new kernel source. For more information, go to: http://www.kernel.org/signature.html.
2) Configure your new kernel using make menuconfig or make config or make xconfig. You could select the necessary kernel modules using this step or load the previous kernel configuration.
3) Now, build the new kernel using 'make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install'
4) If the build is complete, then install the new kernel
# pwd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-ss4
# mv arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.0-ss4
# mv System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.0-ss4
# cd /boot
# rm System.map
# ln -s System.map-2.6.0-ss4 System.map
5) Now you need to configure your boot loader (Grub/Lilo) to enter the new kernel information.
