Hi all,
Please let me know if this is not the right place to ask this question.
I was trying to compile and build kernel 3.2.0, by following <Linux
Administration - A Beginner's Guide> written by Wale Soyinka.
Error occurs after running the following command:
# new-kernel-pkg -v --mkinitrd --depmod --install 3.2.0-custom
initrdfile is /boot/initrd-3.2.0-custom.img
running depmod for 3.2.0-custom
creating initrd: /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f
/boot/initrd-3.2.0-custom.img 3.2.0-custom
found /boot/initrd-3.2.0-custom.img and using it with grubby
adding 3.2.0-custom to /boot/grub/grub.conf
/etc/lilo.conf does not exist, not running grubby
Does anyone ever run into this? How can I fix it?
Here is the link that I downloaded kernel from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.2.tar.bz2
# uname -a
Linux test_server 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 25
19:59:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Please let me know if any other information is needed.
Thanks.
Xin Li

CentOS uses RPMs for the kernel and here is how you would build one: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel However, there is very rarely a need for one to build their own custom kernel. If you really want a different kernel that is newer than the one in CentOS, ELRepo (http://www.elrepo.com) has a kernel-lt (long term kernel from kernel.org) and kernel-ml (main line kernel from kernel.org) ... and there is also a CentOS produced 3.10.x kernel in the Xen4CentOS repository. If you want to learn how to create a new kernel as a learning exercise, the wiki link will help that, otherwise I would use one where a known and trusted entity is maintaining it secure. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I thought all the distributions could build kernel in the same way, obviously I was wrong. Thanks for your reply.
