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

awk between items including items

OS=HP-UX ksh The following works, except I want to include the <start> and <end> in the output. awk -F '<start>' 'BEGIN{RS="<end>"; OFS="\n"; ORS=""} {print $2} somefile.log' The following work in bash but not in ksh sed -n '/^<start>/,/^<end>/{/LABEL$/!p}' somefile.log

swaplabel

SWAPLABEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      SWAPLABEL(8)

NAME

       swaplabel - Print or change the label / UUID of a swap area

SYNOPSIS

       swaplabel [-L label] [-U UUID] device

DESCRIPTION

       swaplabel will display or change the label / UUID of a swap partition located on device (or regular file).

       If the optional arguments -L and -U are not present, swaplabel will simply display the swap area label and UUID of device.

       If  an  optional argument is present, then swaplabel will change the appropriate value of device.  These values can also be set during swap
       creation using mkswap(8).  The swaplabel utility allows to change the label or UUID on actively used swap device.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit.

       -L, --label label
	      Specify a new label for device.  Swap partition labels can be at most 16 characters long.  If label is longer  than  16  characters,
	      swapinfo will truncate it and print a warning message.

       -U, --uuid uuid
	      Specify a new UUID for device.  UUID must be in the standard 8-4-4-4-12 character format, such as is output by uuidgen(1).

AUTHOR

       swaplabel was written by Jason Borden <jborden@bluehost.com> and Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>.

AVAILABILITY

       swaplabel is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
