Detailed steps for correctly installing the kernel source code in FC3

Detailed steps for correctly installing the kernel source code in FC3-Linux general technology-Linux programming and kernel information. The following is a detailed description. Although the release notes of Fedora Core 3 and related posts on the Forum have explained how to install the kernel source code in FC3, I think it is still unclear in some places, so here are the detailed steps for your reference.

Prerequisites: First, you must know the architecture of your machine, whether it is i386 or i686. You can see the result of executing the command uname-rm.

1. Download the kernel source code package
Connection http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...i386/ OS /SRPMS/
Download kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm

2. Installation
Rpm-ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm
The file is extracted to the SPECS directory under the/usr/src/redhat folder, which contains a kernel-2.6.spec
Go to/usr/src/redhat/SPECS and execute the command rpmbuild-bp -- target = i686 kernel-2.6.spec
In this case, a directory kernel-2.6.9 will be created in/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, and a sub-directory linux-2.6.9 (this is the source code) will be created under the directory ), but don't be too happy. compile it again.

3. Compile
Go to the directory cd/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/configs, which contains several kernel configuration files based on your own machine architecture (i386 or i686 ), select kernel-2.6.9-i686.config (my machine is i686) and execute cp kernel-2.6.9-i686.config .. /. config. It must be noted that .. /. config, because this is to copy the kernel configuration file to the kernel source directory (/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9,

Finally, execute the command make oldconfig in the/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 directory
