Hi Guys, Has anyone tried to update the Kernel. I want to try but dont know if the kernels available in Kernel.org will work on my RH9 system. I want to download and install a new kernel in my system and don't know how to go about it. Any one who know how to do it is welcome.
Thanx,
Richard

A very interesting part about linux is that you can have more than one kernels installed at the same time ;). Anyway, since you're using RH, I would recommend using a Redhat Kernel RPM. You can get it from redhat.com ( dunno the exact address ). Those guys modify the kernel a lot so it becomes difficult to configure and install a vanilla kernel ( i.e. from kernel.org ) lest you're a linux guru. BTW why do you want to update the kernel? Any special reasons? Security issues? or just to keep up with the times?
Regards,
Dinesh.

If u use redhat all u have to do is in the command line type up2date. This will download the new kernel for u. This is if u r lazy and dont want to compile it yourself.else http://www.linuxlookup.com/html/guides/kernel.html#3 or http://www.linuxhelp.ca/guides/kernel/ Better still hit google and type (compile kernel how to) Dont forget to add the new kernel in the boot loader

Is it possible to load the kernel.rpm for FC1, FC2 or FC3 onto RHL9. I suppose we cannot. Sometime back I saw an article on how to upgrade the kernel using the rpm utility. But I tried it and failed.
I think we have to get the kernel specifically written for RH9 in this case. Correct me if I am wrong. But if I am right, then pls point me to any link where I can get the upgrade kernel specifically for RH9.
regards,
Richard

In our class, our sir gave a precautionary advice to us newbies to load the new kernel seperately side by side and then select it in the grub loader. In case it doesn't match your system or creates problems, we can go back to the existing one without any worry.
