Compile Kernel Suse 11

[bonzocs]

Hi All,

I'm having a bit of trouble compiling the latest kernel 2.6.25.7 from kernel.org, whilst using Suse 11.

When I think I have done the job and reboot, I get loads of dependency warnings?

Can anyone point out what I am missing in the compile procedure below:

go into /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.7-default...

make dev
make modules
make install
make bzImage

Then reboot?

When I reboot I choose the kernel version I just compiled, but then get the errors on boot.

When I check /lib/modules/2.6.25.7 all thats in there is:
build
kernel
modules.older
source

Thanks in advance

I believe you forgot a step.
make dev
make modules
make modules_install
make install
make bzimage

Thanks MikeTbob, Much appreciated!

A nice way to install/build a kernel for Suse is to use the method I learned online. Configure your kernel and then run:

make rpm

This will build an rpm for you that you can install elsewhere if you want to upgrade other installs.

After you install that rpm, run mkinitrd and edit your menu.lst as needed.

Thanks Bryan,

That seems like a good idea, I might give that a go now. I tried the other way and am still having module problems.

Cheers
