Appendix C: Build a RHEL4 Kernel from PolyServe Sources 63

5. If you are using grub, the make install step should have updated the

grub file. Verify that the correct kernel version is selected as the

default.

6. If you are using

LILO, you will need to take these steps:

a. Set the new kernel to be the default in the /etc/lilo.conf file. You can

assign any name to the kernel.

b. Add a section for the new kernel to the /etc/lilo.conf file. The

“image” line specifies the location of the kernel. The “label” line

specifies the name that you assigned to the kernel in step a.

c. Run /sbin/lilo.

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

and configured correctly.

Build a Debug Kernel

Debug versions of the kernel are available from PolyServe. Install the

appropriate kdb kernel on the server and then compile it as described

above.
