Is this possible. I did my first one yesterday in order to get my iPod mini to work with the EL kernel. It worked well. Everything went smoothly, but I don't like what I named it. So I'd like to take one more shot at it. If I do, is there a way to remove the old one cleanly? Modules and everything.
If you built RPM package, and installed it that way, rpm -q kernel to see how it is named, than rpm -e kernel-whatever-is-your-version.
If you did make install or something similar to install it, than simply remove the files from the disk (rm -rf). You want to remove /boot/config-version, /boot/initrd-version.img, /boot/System.map-version, /boot/vmlinuz-version and /lib/modules/version. Also, modify your boot loader to reflect the changes (either /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf).
Also, if do recompile the kernel again, do I need fresh source, or can I just do a make clean, rename the setting in the Makefile for the name, then go through all the usual steps.
Make clean should do it.
