Decompress and install the kernel

Kernel decompression and installation-General Linux technology-Linux programming and kernel information. The following is a detailed description. For more information, see.

The kernel source code is stored in the/usr/src/kernels Directory. if the kernel is upgraded online, it is also stored in this directory;

If no content exists in/usr/src/kernels/in your system, it means that you have not installed the kernel source package kernel-devel package.

If you install the kernel source code package online, such as through apt + synaptic or yum, the kernel source code will be placed in the directory under/usr/src/kernel, you need to enter the corresponding directory for compilation;

If you are downloading the rpm Package of kernel and kernel-devel, you can install it through;

[Root @ panda] # rpm-ivh kernel *. rpm

If you are downloading a linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2 or linux-2.6.13.tar.gz similar to kernel.org, move the downloaded file to the/usr/src directory to decompress it; then go to the decompressed directory for configuration and compilation;

[Root @ panda] # music linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2
[Root @ panda] # cd/usr/src/
[Root @ panda src] # tar xvjpf linux-2.6.12.3.tar.bz2
