Hello Ringo;
This is how I do it: (I am sure there are better/faster ways)
"su -" and enter the password for root.
"cd /usr/src"
Download the base kernel:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.9.bz2
Download the latest prepatch:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.10-rc3.bz2
Download the latest snapshot:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.10-rc3-bk...
Uncompress the files: "bunzip2 *.bz2"
Untar the base: "tar -xvf *.tar"
Get the .config file from your latest working kernel, or the Redhat
base: "cp XXXX/.config mick"
change the directory name to the new kernel:
"mv linux-2.6.9 2.6.10-rc3-bk15"
get the patches there:
"cp pat* 2.6.10-rc3-bk15"
and the config:
"cp mick 2.6.10-rc3-bk15/.config"
cd there:
"cd 2.6.10-rc3-bk15 "
FINALLY patch the kernel:
"cat *rc3 | patch -p1"
"cat *bk15 | patch -p1"
Compile it:
"make"
"make modules_install"
"make install"
and - reboot to the new kernel.
This is just my tedious, boring, slow way of doing it.
But I download the rpm of src in
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/SRPMS/
Is it also need to download the files as u replied ? Or the rpms is
included all patch and base ?
