I'm trying to build a new kernel for my system and not having much luck. System: Intel DK440LX MB with single PII 266 (kernel I'm building includes SMP) OS: RedHat 6.0 I don't understand a few key points and can't seem to find adequate documentation. Here are my questions... 1) How do I build a kernel with a new version identifier, such that when it is working, uname -r will report the new version? And more importantly, it'll find it's modules in /lib/modules/[new-version] * Note : I just looked at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and believe the module path it actually set in there with depmod 2) What is the function of /boot/initrd-xxxxxxxxx? There exists such a file for the supplied and installed kernel, but not for my newly built kernel. Where does it come from? +------------------------ | christoph | linuxguy at ici.net | http://home.ici.net/~linuxguy - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
