9. Download and Unpack the New Kernel9.1. Required packagesThe following is a list of packages required to patch a 2.4.x series
kernel. I am still working on the notes for a 2.6.x series install. 2.4.x series kernels kernel source files ACPI patch that exactly matches the kernel
version debian packages: make, bzip2, gcc, libc6-dev, tk8.3,
libncurses5-dev, kernel-package after you've patched the kernel add the debian
packages: acpid, acpi (this last package is available in testing and
unstable versions of Debian, but not stable)
9.2. UnpackWe need to unpack the bz2 file (bzip2) and shuffle the directories around a bit.
/usr/src/linux probably points
to your current kernel. We need it to point to the new kernel, so we'll do that as well.
cd /usr/src
mkdir kernel-source-<version>
(use an alternate name if you already have a version of this kernel
installed)
cp
linux.<version>.tar.bz2
/usr/src/kernel-source-<version>
cd
/usr/src/kernel-source-<version>
tar xjfv
linux.<version>.tar.bz2
mv
linux.<version>
/usr/src/linux-<version>
rm linux
(assuming that's a link to your old kernel)
ln -s
/usr/src/linux-<version>
linux
If your kernel needs to be patched, do so now.
