Compile the kernel

TimeSys Linux Install HOWTO
Prev |  | Next

# 6. Compile the kernel

The next step is to compile TimeSys Linux:

            # make dep
            # make bzImage [1]
            # make modules
            # make modules_install
            # make install

The make install should have put the kernel into `/boot` and even added a TimeSys entry into GRUB for you. If you want the new kernel to boot by default, edit `/etc/grub.conf` and change the default line to the appropriate zero-based index corresponding to the TimeSys kernel entry. (This will probably be 0).

### Notes

[1] | If you get errors about not finding i586-linux-gcc, edit the `Makefile` and comment out the line about CROSS_COMPILE.
