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
