Hi guys,
I currently have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS-Hardy running on my
machine. I am learning about linux device drivers and hence I have to
compile and run the kernel after modifications, also I have to insert my own
custom built modules. Please suggest how to create an environment that does
not mess up with existing running setup, when I compile and boot into my
custom built kernel ...
Once you get a working system back, if necessary by reinstalling as
Stephen suggested, I suggest you look into virtualization software.
Virtual installs are perfect for experimenting and learning without
risk to the 'host' o/s (i.e. actual Linux install running on your
machine). KVM is included in the Linux kernel and I believe is the
preferred choice for Ubuntu. VirtualBox is popular and comes with a
nice GUI for novices.
