Iam using Redhat linux 2.4.18-14(which came with
installing RHlinux-8.0.
Now I want to reconfigure the kernel.
I have download the linux 2.4.18 from ftp:kernel.org
Ihave put the file in /home/cs0205/
There itself I unzipped the file.
Then I saw a new directory /home/cs0205/linux
then cd /home/cs0205/linux
make mrproper
make xconfig
During the configuration I havn't made any changes
to
the default configuration.I have just saved the
default configuration and exited.
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
After this I observed that there are new files in
/boot like vmlinuz-2.4.18 and vmlinuz-2.4.18.img
Before there were files named vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 and
vmlinuz-2.4.18-14.img
I have then changed my /etc/lilo.conf file as follows
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux_new
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18
label=linux_new
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18.img
read-only
append="hdb=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=DOS
I have run /sbin/lilo
when I tried booting with the new kernel image, its
stopping after giving the message,
kernel panic:I have no root I want to scream
please help me!!!!!!!!!
Dear friends,
Iam new to linux.
I don't know why we should do make mrproper,dep
clean
bzImage,etc.
What is the result of this make?
will u please suggest any resources on net?
or any text book?
I have read somewhere saying that we have to copy
the
bzImage in linux/arch/boot/ to /boot/
I have also seen something regarding System.map!
What does this System.map and bzImage contain?
Do I really have to copy them?
Then what is the use of make install?
please answer to my queries!!!!!!
Thankyou!
for reading the mail patiently!
