Upgrade ke Kernel 2.6.13

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Hari ini coba upgrade ke kernel 2.6.13 di Acer Travelmate 4002 NLMi

1. Download source kernel linux-2.6.13.tar.gz
:/usr/src$ wget -c [url source linux-2.6.13.tar.gz]

2. Ekstrak
:/usr/src# tar -xvvzf linux-2.6.13.tar.gz

3. Copy file (misal) config-2.6.12 & rubah menjadi .config
:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# cp /boot/config-2.6.12 .
:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# mv config-2.6.12 .config

4. Dibiasakan membaca HELP kalo ada pilihan yang gak ngerti, nulis lspci & dmesg bisa sangat membantu. Kernel sebelumnya (2.6.12) itu hasil memilih dengan sangat "selektif" dan cukup lama. (Hampir) semua yang diperlukan di include di kernel & (sangat) sedikit yang [M] modularizes features.

:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# make menuconfig

Lanjut ... (singkatnya)

Save Configuration to an Alternate File
.config < Ok >
Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration? < Yes >

6. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# make

7. :/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# make install

8. Install kalo ada sebagian dari kernel yang dijadikan modules
:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13# make modules_install

9. Update Grub (manual)
:/# vim /boot/grub/menu.lst

Tambahkan (misal):
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.13
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.
savedefault
boot

10. Reboot with the new kernel and enjoy
