LinuxFedora8 is upgraded to 2.6.26.5-28 through rpm

I. Delete useless Fedora8 kernels 1. Because of the previous upgrades, there are many kernels that occupy a lot of space, so we decided to delete them first, preferably back up the data. 2. the deletion method sometimes deletes some old kernels for various reasons. The basic steps are as follows: 1. check the kernel version of the current system, do not delete the Error # uname-r or uname-a2. delete the kernel installed in rpm mode. You can delete the kernel version directly using rpm-e. For manually compiled and installed kernels

1. Delete useless kernels of Fedora 8
1. Due to the previous upgrade, there are many kernels that occupy a lot of space, so we decided to delete them first, preferably back up the data.
2. Deletion Method
Sometimes we may delete some old kernels for various reasons. The basic steps are as follows:
1. Check the kernel version of the current system. Do not delete the error.
# Uname-r or uname-
2. Delete the kernel installed in rpm mode. You can delete the kernel version directly using rpm-e.
For manually compiled and installed kernels, it is a little troublesome to delete them.
(1) Modify/etc/grub. conf or/etc/grub/menu. lst to delete unnecessary kernel options.
(2) Delete the directory of/lib/modules/Corresponding kernel version
(3) Delete/boot/Corresponding kernel version files
For Ubuntu:
$ Dpkg -- get-selections | grep linux-image // view the kernel version name
$ Sudo apt-get remove kernel version (e.g., linux-image-2.6.15-23-386)

Ii. Upgrade the new kernel
1>. First, go to http://rpm.pbone.net/to find the following file:
Kernel-2.6.26.5-28
Kernel-headers'-2.6.26.5-28
Kernel-devel-2.6.26.5.28
2> Construction
1. Delete the 2.6.25.14 manually compiled by me.
First, delete the 2.6.25-related
Delete
Delete the source code and put it in/usr/src /.
Keep the configuration file

2. Delete 2.6.23, which is included in the system. It was previously installed with rpm.
Rpm-qa | grep kernel can be seen and deleted, so that the new
Rpm-qa | grep kernel
Kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
Kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
Kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8

If you find many dependencies, use

Yum remove kernel-headers
Find that you want to delete the following (and then press Bay later)

Then delete kernel-devel.

This installation is successful.
4. Test
View/boot
/Lib/modules
/Usr/src/kernels
/Boot/grub. conf
The installation is completed automatically, the corresponding files are in the file, and the new kernel is started by default.
5. Restart
[Ninga @ localhost ~] $ Uname-r
2.6.26.5-28. fc8

6. Install the associated files just deleted, mainly gcc

Yum install gcc-c ++ gcc-gfortran

Gcc-c ++ i386 4.1.2-33 fedora 3.3 M
Gcc-gfortran i386 4.1.2-33 fedora 3.0 M
Installing for dependencies:
Gcc i386 4.1.2-33 fedora 5.2 M
Glibc-devel i386 2.7-2 fedora 2.0 M
Glibc-headers i386 2.7-2 fedora 609 k

[Root @ localhost ~] # Yum install systemtap

7. Keep it for 2.6.24. After all, it cannot take up much space. In addition, the kernel-headersdevel version should be the same as the kernel version. Otherwise, problems may occur, such as the virtualbox installation.
