B.2. Install the new kernel
In The Debian Way, you create a deb file which contains information about where the kernel is (and makes the kernel and yada-yada). In the "normal" way, you put things where they need to be right away. You need to install your modules and then configure lilo to point to the new kernel and then run
lilo. If you are not doing things The Debian Way your "install" will look like this:
cd
/usr/src/linux
make
modules_install
cp
arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz.<date>
vi /etc/lilo.conf and copy the structure of your
existing kernel. Do NOT delete the reference to your existing kernel! You need
to point lilo to the "vmlinuz" file that was created when you compiled the
kernel above
lilo (yup, just exactly like that.)
Lilo will let you know if it's going to have major problems loading
the new kernel.
| Do NOT forget to run lilo before rebooting. Type
lilo. It's that easy (and that easy to forget). |
