Kernel 2.6.1 on Redhat 8

[Patriot]

ok before i dive into compiling my kernel (which i download on my pots line ... phew), i did some scouting and info grabbing. I have rh 8 but most of the info descibes how to compile for rh9 ... i guess the two are similiar. Did anyone compile 2.6.1 for RH 8, if so may i ask for some guidance?

Thanx :)

:o Thanks

Everyone here tries to help if they can. I do try to share whatever knowledge I have though sometimes I have to resort to G4L/JL searches/suggestions if I don't know the solution or if it's been covered many times before.

Since I have never used Redhat ... sorry I cannot help. :(

Just ensure you have met all the requirements as outlined in the 2.6 kernel Changes file.

i.e. for the 2.4 kernel


o Gnu C 2.95.3 # gcc --version
o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version
o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v
o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version
o modutils 2.4.2 # insmod -V
o e2fsprogs 1.25 # tune2fs
o jfsutils 1.0.12 # fsck.jfs -V
o reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 # reiserfsck -V 2>&1|grep reiserfsprogs
o xfsprogs 2.1.0 # xfs_db -V
o pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 # cardmgr -V
o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version
o isdn4k-utils 3.1pre1 # isdnctrl 2>&1|grep version

Don't forget that is for the 2.4 kernel. Have a look at the same file in the 2.6 kernel source.
