To upgrade the kernel, do the following:
Go to:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/old-releases/redhat-3.0.3/i386/updates/2.0-kernel/RPMS/
And download ALL the RPM's into the same directory. Go into that
directory and type: <rpm -Uvh *.rpm>
This will install all the source code. Go to /usr/src/linux-2.0 and
type:
1) <make config>
2) <make dep; make clean>
3) <make zImage>
***The above commands take a LONG time...so grab a beer and turn on the
TV.......
***You are about to pass the point of no return! All the above steps
will NOT endanger your current config. The ones below WILL!
Find the file called zImage by typing: <find / -name zImage -print>
Copy the zImage to /vmlinuz (MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR OLD VMLINUZ
FIRST!)
cd to /usr/src and type: <rm linux> and <ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.0 linux>
If you're using LILO, type <lilo> to rewrite your config.
Reboot.
Good luck!
