Hi,

I installed a Debian Lenny distribution from a netinsall CD which istalled kernel version 2.6.24 on my machine (laptop and desktop).

However since i needed to do an upgrade to 2.6.24.7 so i got it from kernel.org untarred it, made a symbolic link at /usr/src/linux and ran the follwoing commands with success:

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install

After going through all the above steps i notices that the /boot/grub/menu.lst is not modified and does not show the new kernel. However i wanted to change teh menu.lst by hand but noticed that there is no initrd-2.6.24.7 created in the /boot directory and hence cannot use the new kernel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Zack

Is there a particular reason you can't just install the 2.6.26 kernel from the Debian repositories?

In 2.6 kernels they are built a little different than the 2.4 kernels. What you did is correct for 2.4 kernels for 2.6 you do this.

make clean - if you need to
make - this builds the kernel and the modules in one step
make modules_install - installs the modules to /lib/modules
make install - installs to grub
