next, install modules of new kernel:
#make modules_install
then, generate a image for new kernel.
#cd /lib/modules #mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.30.4 2.6.30.4 #mv initrd.img-2.6.30.4 /boot
edit menu.lst file for grub booter, add following:
title Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, kernel 2.6.30.4 root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=UUID=98f69044-be12-4dde-95df-358dca35c632 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30.4 quiet
install new linux kernel 2.6.30.4 using “make install”, system should show following detail:
root@ibm-laptop:/usr/src/linux-2.6.30.4# make install
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.4/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.30.4 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map “/boot”
In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, you
will need to reboot the machine. First, however, you will need to
either make a bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB
installed.
Checking for ELILO…No
GRUB is installed. To automatically switch to new kernels, point your
default entry in menu.lst to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.4
====================
GRUB menu configuration file menu.lst should be update.
configuration and update to linux kernel 2.6.30.4
using root account do following.
#make mrproper #check kernel .o and .config files
next configuration kernel. there are three kinds of configuration UI.
#make config #Text UI
#make menuconfig #Text graph UI
#make xconfig
before using menuconfig mode, ncurses should be installed.
#apt-get install libncurses*
and before using xconfig mode, following package should be installed.
#apt-get install libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev
after all configuration work done. using make command to compile kernel.
get recent linux kernel (2.6.30.4)
$sudo wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.30.4.tar.gz /usr/src $sudo tar xvf /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.4.tar.gz
if linux-2.6.30.4.tar.bz2 package, using command:
$sudo tar jxvf /usr/src/linux-2.6.30.4.tar.bz2
windows 7 kernel version is 6.1.7000. I don’t think win 7 has many change than vista in kernel.
