5. Run mkinitrd If Necessary

If you edited the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file in the previous step, you will

need to run mkinitrd to create a new initrd image with the appropriate

drivers.

1. Check the /boot directory for an initrd image for the kernel you just

installed. Remove the image if it exists in the directory.

2. Run the following command from the /usr/src/linux directory:

# mkinitrd

For more information about this command, see the mkinitrd(8) man

page.

6. Reboot and Verify the Kernel Configuration

Reboot the operating system and then verify that the kernel is built and

configured correctly.
