Compiling 2.6.11?!
Hey;
I downloaded the 2.6.11.6 Kernel source today to tinker with compiling.
I've never (successfully) compiled & run a Linux kernel before... so
bare with me...
I got through the kernel compile by doing 'make bzImage' ('make zImage'
gave some kindof "system to big" error and suggested I try make
bzImage... I have no clue what exactly the difference is... an
explanation would be helpful). On 'make modules' I got the same error
described in this thread:
"http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg32896.html";.
They have patches there that should solve my problem. I can see all the
code there, and understand that they need the changes need to be applied
to the code files as specified. I assume there is an autimated way to
do this?
Basically, I'm newbie to kernel compilation, the modules won't
compile, I have patches to fix the bug... what do I do. My knowledge
consists of "make menuconfig && make clean && make zImage && make
modules && make modules_install"... just assume I know absolutely
nothing else.
Thanx!
