Recompile kernel slackware


Here is a simple guide to recompile the kernel on Slackware. Firstly you must download the new kernel from the site www.kernel.org

Open a shell and change to the directory that contains the file linux-2.6 (new kernel). tarBz2

therefore Type:
cp linux-2.6. (new kernel). tarBz2 / usr / src


we now enter / usr / src


cd / usr / src
now proceed with the unpacking of the kernel and to compile


tar xjvf linux-2.6. (new kernel). tarBz2
rm linux; ln-s linux-2.6. (new kernel) linux


cd linux make
mrproper
cp / usr/src/linux-2.6 (old kernel). / config / usr/src/linux-2.6 (new kernel). / config
Choose:
make oldconfig (To maintain the configuration of the old kernel)

make menuconfig (to enter in the configuration of the kernel) type in


make-j3 (single core) or -j6
(if using a dual core)

check / usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot / (in this directory there should be a file)
make modules_install
're still in / usr / src / linux cp


System . map / boot/System.map-2.6. (new kernel)
cp. config / boot/config-2.6. (new kernel)


arch/x86/boot/bzImage cp / boot/vmlinuz-2.6. (new kernel)
cd /
now that the kernel is updated you must make changes to the boot

sudo gedit / etc / lilo.conf:
find something like this:

image = / boot / vmlinuz root
= / dev/hda2 label = Slack_2.6. (old kernel) read only

below to add the following lines:


image = / boot/vmlinuz-2.6. (new kernel)


root = /


dev/hda2 label = Slack_2.6. (new kernel)
read only
're done. Now we have to restart your computer and select the new kernel from lilo.
