[Devil-linux-develop] Kernel Recompilation

[Frischknecht P. <pe...@em...>]

Hello,

I am at my wits end on this one...all I need is a little bit of help.

I am unable to make kernel source changes  and then proceed to "make =
build , install, prepare, iso".

Very Specifically:
After a minor kernel change, "make build" stops and prompts me for =
approval on certain kernel compilation parameneters.
What it is actually doing, is within the kernel subdir =
(tmp/linux-2.4.22) running "make oldconfig".

After that it is a nightmare.  kernel compilation craps out, and nothing =
short of a complete cleaning of ALL the src files and recompilation =
(about 20hours in my 1Gig Athlon) cures the problem.
I do not know what packages touch the .config for the kernel.

I know that grsecurity touches I have attempted to selective delete =
.done_build_grsecurity and .done_build_gcc but the kernel still =
complains of invalid references.

Please, could somebody tell me:
If I want to recompile JUST THE KERNEL, what steps must I take?
(.done_ files to erase, etc)

I am sure that it has been covered in previous postings, but I was =
unable to find it.

Thank you for your time.
