Latest stable Kernel Compilation
Hello,
First donwload the module-init-tools for kernel
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...ols-3.0.tar.gz
cd module-init-tools-3.0.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
Done!
then
Lets start with the kernel upgrade
cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern....6.15.4.tar.gz
tar -zxf linux-2.6.15.4.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.15.4
cp /boot/config-2.6.9-22.ELsmp /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.4/.config
make clean
make mrproper
make oldconfig
(Note that oldconfig will only work within the same major version of the kernel. You cannot, for example, use a 2.4.x .config with the 2.6.x kernel)
keep hitting enter and take the defaults until you get to the CPU type. Select your CPU. Also in the SMP section select SMP if you have multiple CPUs. Oh, and select "(No Forced Preemption (server))" under that section. Everything else, just hit enter to take the defaults.
Then to compile and install:
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
grub
savedefault --default=0 --once
quit
Reboot..... fingers crossed ...Good Luck
bingo

I have created a small FAQ for the "Unix for Dummies" forum.
Hopefully this will be useful, as there are questions which are asked (and answered) repeatedly.

KETCHUP(1) General Commands Manual KETCHUP(1) NAME
ketchup - Utility to update the kernel source SYNOPSIS
ketchup [options] <ver> DESCRIPTION
This tool synchronises a local kernel tree with a desired kernel version and patch set from a kernel.org mirror. The default requires a GPG key on your keyring, to verify the identity of the patches and source archives. Entire kernel images are not downloaded unless necessary, so bandwidth is saved. Patches are applied and removed as necessary to attain the requested version. OPTIONS
-a --archive (~/.ketchup) cache directory -d --directory (.) directory to update -f --full-tarball if unpacking a tarball, download the latest -g --gpg-path (/usr/bin/gpg) path for GnuPG -G --no-gpg disable GPG signature verification -k --kernel-url (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel) base url for kernel.org mirror -l --list-trees list supported trees -m --show-makefile output version in makefile <arg> -n --dry-run don't download or apply patches -o --only-dl don't apply patches -p --show-previous output version previous to <arg> -q --quiet reduce output -r --rename-directory rename updated directory to linux-<v> -s --show-latest output the latest version of <arg> -u --show-url output URL for <arg> -w --wget (/usr/bin/wget) command to use for wget CONFIGURATION
Ketchup will read files named .ketchuprc in $HOME and in the target kernel directory, with the kernel directory taking precedence. A .ketchuprc file uses the Python syntax and may set the following variables: default_tree The default_tree option specifies the kernel version to work with if one is not given on the command line. precommand The precommand option specifies a command to run before synchronising the kernel tree to the required version. postcommand The postcommand option specifies a command to run after synchronising the kernel tree to the required version.
