Hi,
I am working on CentOS 6.5 which has 2.6.32-431 kernel.
I have a problem with my driver and I need to enable Kernel-Memory leak in the kernel for which I will have to recompile the kernel.
I get the kernel source tree from the the source rpm for my running kernel from below link-
http://vault.centos.org/6.5/updates/Source/SPackages/kernel-2.6.32-431.11.2....
and I try to build the kernel according to the doc link written for RHEL-3 -
http://www.centos.org/docs/rhel-sag-en-3/s1-custom-kernel-modularized.html
according to which it tells me , after make menuconfig( and customizing my configuration), I need to follow the following steps-
- make bzImage
- make modules
- make modules_install
- make install
but I get errors in the first step only-(make bzImage)
But what *are* the errors?
It was pointed out the CentOS-devel mailing list the below link- http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
which allows me to create a rpm for my customized kernel and install it.
Now my question is there no method where in I can apply a kernel source tree from kernel.org(maybe 3,x version) and install it on Centos ?
I think that the answer's no way. You'd require a new (gnuw? <g>) glibc, and a ton of other things. If you really need a 3.x kernel, I suggest you try the 7 beta.
