Need to rebuild and install the kernel.
Trying to install some ide raid drivers (to add some more hdds) and the instrcutions have toled me to modify some code in the kernel folder in usr/src (this is mandrake linux 9 btw). I need to then rebuild the kernel, how do I do this? Is there some file that I bring up for a whole c project (the kernel source code) so then I command it to compile? I am kinda new to Linux (but learning it well enough) so don't give me too much grief
. I think I just need to run "Makefile" ...

kernel-install
KERNEL-INSTALL(8) kernel-install KERNEL-INSTALL(8)
NAME
kernel-install - Add and remove kernel and initramfs images to and from /boot
SYNOPSIS
kernel-install COMMAND KERNEL-VERSION [KERNEL-IMAGE]
DESCRIPTION
kernel-install is used to install and remove kernel and initramfs images to and from /boot.
kernel-install will execute the files located in the directory /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/ and the local administration directory
/etc/kernel/install.d/. All files are collectively sorted and executed in lexical order, regardless of the directory in which they live.
However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in /etc/kernel/install.d/ take precedence over files with the same name
in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/. This can be used to override a system-supplied executables with a local file if needed; a symbolic link in
/etc/kernel/install.d/ with the same name as an executable in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/, pointing to /dev/null, disables the executable
entirely. Executables must have the extension ".install"; other extensions are ignored.
An executable should return 0 on success. It may also return 77 to cause the whole operation to terminate (executables later in lexical
order will be skipped).
COMMANDS
The following commands are understood:
add KERNEL-VERSION KERNEL-IMAGE
kernel-install creates the directory /boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/ and calls executables from /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/*.install
and /etc/kernel/install.d/*.install with the arguments
add KERNEL-VERSION
/boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/ KERNEL-IMAGE
The kernel-install plugin 50-depmod.install runs depmod for the KERNEL-VERSION.
The kernel-install plugin 90-loaderentry.install copies KERNEL-IMAGE to /boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/linux. It also creates a boot
loader entry according to the boot loader specification in /boot/loader/entries/MACHINE-ID-KERNEL-VERSION.conf. The title of the entry
is the PRETTY_NAME parameter specified in /etc/os-release or /usr/lib/os-release (if the former is missing), or "Linux KERNEL-VERSION",
if unset. If the file initrd is found next to the linux file, the initrd will be added to the configuration.
remove KERNEL-VERSION
Calls executables from /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/*.install and /etc/kernel/install.d/*.install with the arguments
remove KERNEL-VERSION /boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/
kernel-install removes the entire directory /boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION/ afterwards.
The kernel-install plugin 90-loaderentry.install removes the file /boot/loader/entries/MACHINE-ID-KERNEL-VERSION.conf.
EXIT STATUS
If every executable returns 0 or 77, 0 is returned, and a non-zero failure code otherwise.
FILES
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/*.install /etc/kernel/install.d/*.install
Drop-in files which are executed by kernel-install.
/etc/kernel/cmdline /proc/cmdline
The content of the file /etc/kernel/cmdline specifies the kernel command line to use. If that file does not exist, /proc/cmdline is
used.
/etc/machine-id
The content of the file specifies the machine identification MACHINE-ID.
/etc/os-release /usr/lib/os-release
The content of the file specifies the operating system title PRETTY_NAME.

machine-id(5), os-release(5), Boot loader specification[1]
