New Kernel troubles
Hey all,
I downloaded the latest kernel release 2.4.7 (26.1mb) yesterday and have been trying to install it on Mandrake 8. I untarred and unzipped the kernel file and now all the files are in the /linux directory. By reading the instructions it tells me to run "make config". I've been trying to run make config out of the /linux directory and out of the /linux/scripts directory and both times it doesn't work, I get a bash error saying command not found. I even tried running the patch-kernel linux script out of the /linux/scripts directory to see whether I could patch it and I still get an error saying command not found. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need do anything special first or need a special kernel for Mandrake? Thanks in Advance! |

Try a "./config"
Then "make", all sans quotes. |

Thanks reboot,
Hehe, I don't think I quite get your instructions. from the console in root: cd /linux...then in /linux run "config" (with quotes?" or ./config (with quotes?) or just cd /linux and then "make"? is this what you meant? |

Did you install the make tools during your installation??
If not you need to download (perhaps from www.rpmfind.net) it and install it. GNU make is the only tool that will allow you to make the makeables! |

Thanks statica,
Don't remember installing them, so more than likely I may not have...I guess I'll head over to www.rpmfind.com and get them, or do you think I can find them on the mandrake cd? Thanks again. |

Yeah .. same difference ... the only thing abt rpmfind is that u might be able to get a newer version than what the CD has

Thanks guys,
Will look for them on the cd first. Also thanks for the link, it should make installing a new kernel easier. Is there anything else I need besides the new kernel file I downloaded off www.kernel.org? Thanks again. |
