Subject: how to compile old kernel

Hello friends.


I have RH 70 with original kernel 2.2.16-19. Later I have compiled newer
kernel 2.4.10 but it contains bugs in AX25 support, and therefore I decided
to use old version of kernel 2.2.19, but it didn?t have been compiled it
with AX25 support, so I need to do it. If I try to compile kernel 2.2.19
with kernel 2.4.10 actually running, it's not possible. MAKE gives me some
errors.

Please let me know how to compile old kernel.


thank you.

Duro.

rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.stearns.org/pub/wstearns/buildkernel/buildkernel-1.05-1.noarch.rpm<Enter>
buildkernel 2.2.19 --BKOPENFRESH=YES<Enter>

Buildkernel will lead you through the process.

Which it would be helpful if you included. You can certainly build a 2.4
kernel on a 2.2 box
