correct way to compile a kernel?


i want to boot into a new kernel like 2.6.34 over the default 2.6.18 RH/centos kernel. i know you cant copy the .config file and use it since there are so many changes so what is the best way to compile the kernel and get the right settings?

Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Have a look at this site, it's a step by step, copy/paste (almost), howto guide for kernel compilation on CentOS, found in 0.37 seconds using Google.

Kind regards,

Eric
