linux 2.6内核升级,Linux内核编译(2.6.18内核升级到V2.6.26.4)

一、当前系统概况：

当前系统为CentOS5.2，内核版本为：2.6.18,欲升级内核到V2.6.26.4

二、准备工作：

首先到http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/或http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/下载最新的内核源代码。下载linux-2.6.26.4.tar.gz完毕后，将其解压至/usr/src/目录下，即：/usr/src/linux-2.6.26.4/。#cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.26.4 进入源代码目录。

三、开始编译

依次执行如下命令：

#make mrproper

配置内核选项

#make menuconfig [xconfig]

#make dep

编译内核：

#make bzImage

编译成功后，make会在最后输出

Kernel：arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready(#1)

内核编译成功后，下面开始编译可加载模块：

#make modules

安装可加载模块：

#make modules_install

模块安装成功后，会在/lib/modules/目录下生成一个与当前内核版本号同名的目录，其安装的可加载模块就是被安装到该目录下。

安装刚才编译的内核：

#make install

在此之前最好先备份一下/boot/grub/grub.conf文件

重新启动系统，在启动时选择刚才编译的内核版本号就可以了。

注：如果对内核编译的make选项不太清楚，可以输入：

#make help查看详细解释。下面时make help的部分内容截取

Cleaning targets:

clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and

enough build support to build external modules

mrproper - Remove all generated files + config + various backup files

distclean - mrproper + remove editor backup and patch files

Configuration targets:

config - Update current config utilising a line-oriented program

menuconfig - Update current config utilising a menu based program

xconfig - Update current config utilising a QT based front-end

gconfig - Update current config utilising a GTK based front-end

oldconfig - Update current config utilising a provided .config as base

silentoldconfig - Same as oldconfig, but quietly

randconfig - New config with random answer to all options

defconfig - New config with default answer to all options

allmodconfig - New config selecting modules when possible

allyesconfig - New config where all options are accepted with yes

allnoconfig - New config where all options are answered with no

Other generic targets:

all - Build all targets marked with []

* vmlinux - Build the bare kernel

* modules - Build all modules

modules_install - Install all modules to INSTALL_MOD_PATH (default: /)

dir/ - Build all files in dir and below

dir/file.[ois] - Build specified target only

dir/file.ko - Build module including final link

rpm - Build a kernel as an RPM package

tags/TAGS - Generate tags file for editors

cscope - Generate cscope index

kernelrelease - Output the release version string

kernelversion - Output the version stored in Makefile

headers_install - Install sanitised kernel headers to INSTALL_HDR_PATH

(default: /src/linux-2.6.21/usr)

Static analysers

checkstack - Generate a list of stack hogs

namespacecheck - Name space analysis on compiled kernel

headers_check - Sanity check on exported headers

Kernel packaging:

rpm-pkg - Build the kernel as an RPM package

binrpm-pkg - Build an rpm package containing the compiled kernel

and modules

deb-pkg - Build the kernel as an deb package

tar-pkg - Build the kernel as an uncompressed tarball

targz-pkg - Build the kernel as a gzip compressed tarball

tarbz2-pkg - Build the kernel as a bzip2 compressed tarball

Documentation targets:

Linux kernel internal documentation in different formats:

htmldocs - HTML

installmandocs - install man pages generated by mandocs

mandocs - man pages

pdfdocs - PDF

psdocs - Postscript

xmldocs - XML DocBook

Architecture specific targets (i386):

* bzImage - Compressed kernel image (arch/i386/boot/bzImage)

install - Install kernel using

(your) ~/bin/installkernel or

(distribution) /sbin/installkernel or

install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo

bzdisk - Create a boot floppy in /dev/fd0

fdimage - Create a boot floppy image

isoimage - Create a boot CD-ROM image

make V=0|1 [targets] 0 => quiet build (default), 1 => verbose build

make V=2 [targets] 2 => give reason for rebuild of target

make O=dir [targets] Locate all output files in "dir", including .config

make C=1 [targets] Check all c source with $CHECK (sparse by default)

make C=2 [targets] Force check of all c source with $CHECK

Execute "make" or "make all" to build all targets marked with []
