Some questions about the 'compiling a kernel' section at slackbook.org
Code:
# mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old 1. Why does it say: Code:
# cat arch/i386/boot/bzImage > /vmlinuz Code:
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage > /vmlinuz Why is the kernel image placed in / and not in /boot: Code:
# rm /boot/vmlinuz Code:
# make modules_install Code:
# make modules |
1. It's the same thing
2. I guess it's a typo. Unless it says to change your /etc/lilo.conf accordingly, the correct place is /boot 3. If you (re)compile the same kernel, adding new modules, then the old ones stay intacted. If you compile a new kernel, it's modules go under /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ I suggest you to not delete the old kernel before being sure that your new one is working as you expect it to do.
