RHEL4Update4 upgrade Kernel

RHEL4Update4: Upgrade the kernel-general Linux technology-Linux programming and kernel information. For more information, see the following. In order to support PPTP traversal, we are eager to find a patch and find it without any solution. Please try to upgrade the kernel.

The official version does not provide the rpm for updating the kernel. You can only manually compile the kernel by yourself.

1. download the latest kernel tar package

2. decompress the package and move it to/usr/src.
# Cd/root
# Tar-zxvf linux-2.6.24.tar.gz-C/usr/src

3. Delete compilation configuration information that may fail before
# Linux-2.6.10/cd/usr/src/
# Make mrproper

4. kernel module configuration. You can select new functions, such as NTFS, wireless network, and Bluetooth.
# Make xconfig, make gconfig, or make menuconfig -- I think the first one is more convenient.
Xconfig requires the x-windows qt Development Kit. If it is connected through ssh, we recommend that you use menuconfig

5. # make (in the 2.6 kernel, this step is equivalent to make = make bzImage + make module

6. Installation Module
# Make modules_install

7. Install the kernel
# Make install

8. Modify/boot/grub. conf to change the new kernel to the default startup Item.
# Vi/boot/grub. conf
Change default = 0 --> default = 1

9. Restart the machine
