        Hi,

        I would like to be able to choose to boot the
        2.4.20-24.9 or 2.6.0 kernel when I start my
    computer.
        I have sucessfuly compiled the 2.6 kernel, but I
    don't
        know what to do now.
        The /boot directory has the files
    config-2.4.20-24.9
        initrd-2.4.20-24.9.img
        module-info-2.4.20-24.9
        System.map-2.4.20-24.9
        vmlinux-2.4.20-24.9
        vmlinuz-2.4.20-24.9
        but I just found the System.map-2.6.0 and
        vmlinux-2.6.0.
        How can I can the missing files? Or if I just add
        System.map-2.6.0 and vmlinux-2.6.0 to /boot, and
        create modify grub.conf will be enough?

      You should be doing a "make install_modules install
                 step". This should install your kernel,
    and modify your grub.conf. Be sure you have a boot
    floppy, or redhat cdrom handy (linux rescue).

    Hi,

    I tried to excute "make install_modules install
           step" in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 directory
    where the source are installed, but it didn't work
    because there was no rule to make target
    'install_modules'.
    Do I need to create this rule, or I just excute make
    in the wrong place and so it didn't find the rules? If
    so, where should I excute it?

    Thanks,

    Andre
