Installing a new kernel from source on RHEL 5
Hi all,
Could anyone please let me know on how to upgrade or install a updated kernel version (3.0).I am using RHEL 5 with kernel 2.6.18-8.I am trying to upgrade through source downloaded at http://www.kernel.org/.Also will it be a good practice to upgrade the existing kernel? Thanks in advance._ |
Upgrading (actually it installs a new kernel) via the RHEL tool 'yum' should be fine.
iirc, it keeps up to 3 kernels listed as available in your grub.conf. There's a setting somewhere where you can amend that limit. Don't think I'd try building your own from scratch, as RH heavily modify the 'stock' kernel before distributing it. You should read the Release notes for each kernel if you REALLY need a specific feature/bugfix. |
