Ok... here is the deal.
I've read a couple tutorials on compiling kernel and stuff... but in
both my machines I have Mandrake 9.1 and a friend told me that it had
some compatibility issues with the new plain kernel... ANyway... the
problem is that I want to put the new kernel (not the latest, just
2.4.20) on my Alphaserver200 Is that possible.. (I KNOW IT IS)...
Since Lilo is not an option... what happends if I missconfigure
something??? how do I boot to another kernel??? from the bios console???
I've noted that the downloadable file is only 4 MB (a little less)... is
that the FULL kernel???
I'm currently running RH7.0 on my alpha and It's an important machine in
my network... it's the router and the http/sendmail/ftp/etc server...
I'd appreciate all the help you can give me here... I'm new to linux (at
least at this level) and I certainly never did somthing like this... I
don't want to screw THIS one... I'm already downloading RH9 that isn't
supposed to have any trouble with the not-mdified kernel... so I think I
can screw that one up a few times... also... it's an x86 intel... so
LILO works and I can boot to any kernel I want.
Thanks a lot.
