Re: kernel and modules compiling

[Alexander Schwartz <alexander.schwartz@gmx.net>]

Hi Horacio,

I usually clean my module directory before I reinstall the the kernel
modules to get rid of old stuff in there. But beware: If you are using
PCMCIA or VMWARE, you will need to reinstall the PCMCIA and VMWARE
modules.

After I install my modules using make modules_install I run

  depmod -a

This tells modprobe which modules depend on each other.

I also install the kernel using a small shellprogram provided (you will
need to switch that to executable using chmod +x)

The last thing I do is that I run lilo. 

My procedure: 

make bzImage
make modules
# rm -rf /lib/modules/2.2.5 # Only if you are very sure about this!
make modules_install
depmod -a 
cd arch/i386/boot
./install.sh 2.2.5 bzImage ../../../System.map /
lilo
 
Alex.
