Hi!

I have Kernel 2.4.31
I want to upgrade to latest Kernel 2.6.13.4

So I`ve just downloaded full source file linux-2.6.13.4.tar.bz2 (36,5MB) from www.kernel.org

What should I do now with this file?

Thank you.

Have a look at this post and this post. I hope they help.

when I run
make;make modules;make install;make modules_install
I have many errors and warnings
why?

Also I don`t understand if I want to upgrade to Kernel 2.6.13.4 I need also something to pach so I can use this .config file (2.6.13)?

There's something missing then from the config. Run make it's own and post any error here.

you don't need to patch the kernel at all unless you want to use some feature that the standard kernel doesn't contain.

When I run "make"
