Hi Vikram,
Here is my successful implementation of 2..4x to 2.6.8.1.. hope this may
be useful to u also... here is my previous message for the procedure i
adapted.
Thanks my dear friends, for your support! I have successfully upgraded
my kernel from 2.4.18.X to 2.6.8.1. it is working fine, i can feel
some good improvement in speed also.. ( is it so, or is it to my blind
eye?... )
After long struggling as a newbie, At last i followed a simple method
which made my job easy. i.e
1. copy the 2.4.18.X's .config file to 2.6.8.1's root directory (THIS
STRATEGY HELPED ME TO SOLVE THE DEVICE DRIVER LOADING ISSUES FOR MOST
OF THE HARDWARES - Here only I had got stuck up previously!!!!)
2. run "make menuconfig" on copied .config and add a additional
features or missing features carefully.
3. Then "make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; make install".
4. If you don't use grub, make an entry for new kernel in
/etc/lilo.conf and run "lilo"
Hope it may be useful for others also.
