problem to compile the kernel

os2 · 09-02-2005, 10:52 AM

hi

i use suse 9.3

i would to have choice between some kernel... (suse kernel and some compiled by me...)

i have folder: linux-2.6.11.4-21.8

i copied this folder to linux-2.6.11.4-21.8N (i will use this one for my kernel)

/usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.8N

i do:

make xconfig
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.11.4-21.8N
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.11.4-21.8N
cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.11.4-21.8N
mkinitrd -k vmlinux-2.6.11.4-21.8N -i initrd-2.6.11.4-21.8N

my grub menu:

Code:

color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/message

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
title SUSE LINUX 9.3
    kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 vga=0x317 selinux=0  splash=silent resume=/dev/sda8  showopts
    initrd (hd0,0)/initrd

#Home make kernel
title SUSE LINUX 9.3 home made
    kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.11.4-21.8N root=/dev/sda5 vga=0x317 selinux=0  splash=silent resume=/dev/sda8  showopts
    initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.11.4-21.8N

don't understand why... but when i choose SUSE LINUX 9.3 that seem to be my new kernel... (because i'm not able to boot on it) and SUSE LINUX 9.3 home made seem my old...

if i boot my old kernel i get some message:

Code:

Have you modified the version number in the toplevel Makefile?
To somethink like

Code:

 VERSION = 2
 PATCHLEVEL = 6
 SUBLEVEL = 11
 EXTRAVERSION =4-21.8

2. You might have overwritten your distro's vmlinuz. check where does /boot/vmlinuz points to.

3. Try to use 'make install' (after make modules_install)?
