I have been trying too install the latest stable kernel and every time i fail, so i need some help pls.
200GB hd but i have created a logical disk (my backup drive) i want to be able to use my windows and linux
hda3 is my linux-swap
hda4 is my linux-ext3
The furthest ive got with installing the kernel was configuring it in the menu.lst (CRUB not lilo) i replaced the default kernel 2.6.17.11 with 2.6.21.5, but for the initrd it didnt compile such thing so i didnt use any initrd.
initrd 2.6.17.11.img
The commands i typed for the compile
which should i use Full or patch ?
wget
http://www2.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...6.21.5.tar.bz2
tar jxf linux-2.6.21.5.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.21.5
make -s menuconfig
(in here i allowed NTFS write other things are beyond me)
make -s && make -s modules_install install
after finished i edited the GRUB menu.lst (like i said above)
title kernel 2.6.21.5
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21.5 root=/dev/hda4 ro
savedefault
thanks maly
