well im doing something wrong . i need your help .

i got slackware 10 with default kernel 2.2.26 i think . i want to upgrade to 2.6.7 tat exists in slackware cd 2 under testing directory ., it is a bz2 fire.

what i did
1) remove /usr/src/linux directory
2) extract the 2.6.7 kernel under /usr/src/linux-2.6.7
3) create a link of the folder linux-2.6.7 to /usr/src/linux
4) make menuconfig //didn't change anything
5) make bzImage
6) cp from /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7
7) symbolik link /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 /boot/vmlinuz
8) went back to /usr/src/linux and made make modules
9) make modules_install
10) cp System.map /boot/System.map1
11) cp .config /boot/config1
12) /boot/ ln -s System.map1 /boot/System.map
13) /boot/ ln -s config1 /config

and typed lilo




well
reboot computer and didn't load any modules

what you thing is wrong ???


thanks in advance

What I would suggest is that after you go through the configuration process (make menuconfig) you should then
then execute the steps to copy the new kernel, etc. The remaining steps are to add the new kernel to your lilo.conf file (in /etc), save it, then run /sbin/lilo so those changes take effect. Overall, I think you're pretty much doing the right thing, but I have always done these in a slightly different order. Good luck with it -- J.W.

i get this error
if [ -r System.map ] ; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.7; fi


so System.map doesn't exist

any help please ??
