Need URL for kernel 2.6.0 upgrade

[gman]

Does anyone know of a good specific URL on how to compile kernel 2.6.0 in RedHat 9.0????

Step by Step

the readme file that comes with it is pretty straightforward.

in short, run these commands:

make xconfig <---- generally set as much as possible to modules
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
(if u use lilo to boot u can use this 1 to set up a boot option etc)
make install

A little more in depth

Download the file
copy to /usr/src
tar xvjf linux-2.6.0.bla
cd linux 2.6.0
make xconfig or make menuconfig (whichever you prefer)
exit and save config
make bzImage (or vmlinuz) modules modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage (or vmlinuz) /boot
if you use lilo rerun the lilo command.
ln -sf /usr/src/linux2.6.0 /usr/src/linux
reboot.

Hellmasker, does make install copy the bzImage to the boot directory?

Check on my short kernel howto on my site if you get stuck...

yep, make isntall copies the bzImage file to /boot/bzImage-2.6.0-1blahblah and make initrd files, system maps, etc. and it puts a entry in lilo.conf are runs lilo all by itself.
