[LUGSB] Compiling Kernel Modules (with Prebuilt Kernels)

Wed Oct 27 01:35:35 EDT 2004

Dave,

The first step would be to download the kernel sources from your distro for 
the kernel your using, and make sure its been configured, I think most 
distros package kernels with a valid .config file but if not there are 
usually defaults in a subdir under /usr/src/linux-<version>.  If its a 2.4 
kernel you'll probably have to run a make dep.  Also make sure there is a 
symlink from /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-<version>.
I think thats the basic starting point.  I cant be morespecific without 
knowing what your compiling and what distro your running, also I run gentoo 
so my kernel is custom so I'm not entirly versed in how distros package these 
things.

Hope that helps,
Dan

To simply kill a process you can just type kill and then the pid of the
process (can be found in top or other system monitor programs) to use kill
on processes you do not own you will need to become root and then kill them.
To solve your problem of these excess programs (which I assume start with
Red Hat 9) you are going to want to edit your /etc/rc.d/rc#.d directories
(the # is replaced with a number 0-6 which represents the runlevel). You can
go through these directories and remove the links that you are sure are
things you don't need. You should know what you are removing though because
if you remove the wrong things you can cause your system to lose
functionality or not boot altogether. You will need to remove things from
all the different runlevel directories. Let me know if you need more help.
