Just off the top of my head - Here is some of your answers:

3. After I have downloaded it, Where do I put the new kernel and uncompress it? /usr/src ?
|
Yes. /usr/src/ . Then when you uncompress it, it will uncompress in /usr/src/linux-2.6.10
But you link (symbolically) /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.6.10.

4. I did the lilo.conf changes then did lilo, rebooted and I dont see the old version in the lilo boot menu, How can I fix this?
|
Here is how (part of my lilo.conf)
Code:
# Slackware 2.6.7 config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.7
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Slack-2.6.7
read-only
# Slackware 2.6.7 config ends
# Slackware 2.4.26 config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.26
root = /dev/hda1
label = Slack-2.4.26
read-only
# Slackware 2.4.26 config ends
I made the " image = " direct paths to the vmlinuz-version#. In some how-to's you will read
that 1 goes to 'vmlinuz' and the other to 'vmlinuz-old.version'. I did it this way to keep
it easy for myself.
I had a heck of a time getting a 2.6.x kernel working starting from scratch, so I just used the
2.6.7 off slack CD #2.
Hope that helps a little.
