Hello All,
I have been trying to follow the instructions on the "How-To's" on
how to recompile the Linux Kernell to include Ipmasqadm. It is not going
so well. After some time of fiddling around with it I've decided to turn
to the newsgroups for support. I'm using Linux 6.1. The kernel is
2.2.12-20. Is there anything special that I need to do?

Which ones?

What problems have you encountered?

Do you mean "Red Hat 6.1"? "Linux {some numbers}" means the kernel
version.

Quote:> Is there anything special that I need to do?

Yes, you need to do it exactly right. (It's computing, after all!)

I think you should post the command you typed and the messages you received.
Btw: are you
a) recompiling as root
b) do you have make/gcc/binutils installed ?

It's generally pretty easy.

0) su -
1) cd /usr/src/linux
2) make xconfig (or make config)
3) make dep
4) make bzImage
5) make modules
6) make modules install
7) (copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot)
8) (edit /etc/lilo.conf to point to /boot/bzImage)
9) /sbin/lilo

Although, I would prefer you tell us more of what happened
when you tried to compile, so we could better solve your
problem...

In a more compassionate moment Paul Kimoto said:

Actually what Paul meant was:

Those of us that can help you need to have a little more information as
to what error messages you got etc.

Look up the script command and you can capture what you get and
post Only the important parts of your errors.

Actually, I use make bzlilo rather than bzImage. What's the difference?

Please correct your posting style. The new text is supposed to go
below the cited one. And it is not recommended to add a one-liner
after having cited the whole posting.

Quote:>Actually, I use make bzlilo rather than bzImage. What's the difference?

[...]

"make bzlilo" will invoke /sbin/lilo automatically, whereas "make bzImage"
will just create the new kernel image. You do have to call /sbin/lilo
whenever you recompiled a new kernel, othrwise the loader will never see
your new image.

What happens? Have you installed the kernel sources? What commands are you
using? Are you doing a make menuconfig and selecting kernel options and
then make dep, make clean, make bzImage, etc?

When you say its "not going too well", can you clarify and expand on this?

Thanks.
