Does this mean this MINI-HOW-TO can not be applied to RHL 7.3 kernel 2.4.18?

I realise how this "clean move" might how sound for you :)). No preblem. We roumanians have a proverb saying something like that: even if you're stupid, is more important that you're recovering.... it has more fun in romanian :))
That's about it! |

Can I apply these steps to Linux 6.2?

There is only one problem:
In RedHat 8.0 make xconfig don't works :( . Users should rather use Kelner Configuration tool from KDE Command Center. ;) |
I find it strange that xconfig won't work on your machine... what version of tcl/tk you are using? and if you are trying to compile a 2.4 kernel. 2.6 uses QT and GTK for the interface in the deprecated xconfig (xconfig uses QT, gconfig uses GTK).

Hi,I
am having problems with my new kernel and would like to remove it. Can I do a "make uninstall" in the /usr/src/2.4.22/ directory. Will this remove all traces of the new kernel like its entry in the grub bootloader Cheers, Sat |
I don't know what version of tcl/tk I am using. I don't even know what is tcl/tk :( .
What I know is that I have Red Hat Linux 8.0 installed with tools for software development some server's , kernel sources etc. And when I write to my shell: [root@Sebo Sebo]#make xconfig make: *** Brak regół do wykonania obiektu 'xconfig'. Stop. ...appears. I will try to translate into English: make: *** There are no rules to make 'xconfig' object. Stop. |
Sebo, try menuconfig... and see if that works Ok.
chichibabin: Unforutunately there is no way to uninstall the kernel via a uninstall script in the source tree, BUT you can do so by deletin your /lib/modules/<kernelversion>, /boot/<kernel files> and editting grub.conf. |
Thanks targos,
That's what I did, several times. I think I've got a working 2.4.22 kernel now. Cheers Sat |
Congratulations!

Thank you very much, im quie a newbie too, and your guide helped me.
I tried a couple of times compiling 2.4.22 without success.. now i know what is my error : make install shame on me. :study: |
You mean like
Code:
make install Code:
make modules_install |
I forgot the make install command :scratch:
I still have a question though, My friend bought a brand new pc (2 moths old now) with all the devices onboard and asked me to install Linux on it. I installed RH9, the installation was fine but as you might have already guessed, none of the devices were recongnized by the kernel. The output of lspci tells me that all devices are unknown (something to do with a new mobo chipset i guess). My question is: If i recompile 2.4.22, and take the acutal config-2.4.20-8 file located in /boot as the input file for make xconfig, will the kernel recognized the devices? or do ill have to select the drivers manually in the xconfig menu? Since im quite a :newbie: with the kernel compile process, i dont want to play on the /boot partition too much. by reaming some files etc... Thank you from Montreal!!! |
