If you new to kernel compile and config, Dont hurry. relax~ : ) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
First, read the *README*[1] file in kernel source. Maybe it is already |
| 9 |
installed at /usr/src/linux/README.('/usr/src/linux' is symbolic links |
| 10 |
that point real kernel source directory '/usr/src/linux-yourversion') |
| 11 |
And check 'Gentoo Handbook - Configuring Kernel'[2] for current gentoo |
| 12 |
profile(2006.0) required kernel option(and other contents too) |
| 13 |
[3], [4] is maybe optional. But encourage yourself reading that document. :) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
When configuring kernel option in 'menuconfig' or 'xconfg'(gconfig), you |
| 16 |
can read inline help document. Critical option(cause to boot failure) is |
| 17 |
everywhere. Be patient and Dont hurry |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Before reboot with new kernel, Keep your existing(bootable) kernel file |
| 20 |
and bootloader config(/boot/grub.conf). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Hope to get your 'own' kernel. :) |
