Kernel compile

so basicly kernel compile supose these operations

make menuconfig
make dep
make bzimage
make modules
make modules_install

now i'm using lilo

lilo.conf

image =/boot/vmlinuz
root =/dev/hda5
label=Kernel-2.4.26

wel..
i've just downloaded new kernel 2.6.10 and make all the operations above...

but now what should i do to use both kernels ???

how should i modify lilo.conf ?

For kernel 2.6.X:
Making the kernel:

Code:

make (x|menu|old|)config
make
make modules_install
make install

Then, depending on how your /boot is set up, or where the new kernel is, add an entry to lilo.conf (man lilo.conf) for the new kernel and you can use lilo to select from between the two.

that's not the right stages for a 2.6. kernel actually, no need to make dep.

to get the new image in place, copy /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz=2.6.10 (or similar) and basically just create a similar lilo entry with a suitable name. then as root run "lilo" and reboot. by default you'll still boot to the original kernel (so make sure you don't delete the old image file)

oh, and if this is your first stab at 2.6, also make sure you have the 2.6 orientated "module-init-tools" package, or no modules will load (you'll get a message saying that QM_MODULES isn't implemented)

Why don't you just read the top thread in the Slackware forum?
It pretty much covers all aspects of 2.6 compilation ;)

At the time I read your post it was just 4 positions
higher up on the forum.
