Hello Everyone:
The kernel(2.2.14) seems to be no problem when newly installing RedHat 6.2 Then I download new kernel(2.2.17) for updating kernel. Before update I see the modules are OK in directory /lib/modules/kernel-version.
Then I extract the 2.2.17 kernel source code in the /usr/src and rename linux to linux-2.2.17 and make symbolic link and delete previous modules version with command (rm -rf /lib/modules/2.2.14-xxx).After that I process the following in /usr/src/linux directory.
make mrproper make xconfig make dep make clean make modules make modules_install edit /etc/lilo.conf and add lilo header.
Then after reboot I only see net directory under new modules directory /lib/modules/2.2-17.Although I have selected sound and other device drivers as modules.But they haven't build into modules.So is there any thing I should pay attention to when update kernel and modules or I can keep old modules and update modules during xconfig ?
Would anyone tell me how can I update the kernel and modules simultaneously without losing previous installed modules.Thanks a lot !!
