Comments on How To Compile A Kernel - The SuSE Way

How To Compile A Kernel - The SuSE Way Each distribution has some specific tools to build a custom kernel from the sources. This article is about compiling a kernel on SuSE systems. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel) so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your distribution. It also shows how to patch the kernel sources if you need features that are not in there.

Note that OpenSuSE 10.2 has fixed the ksyms files described in step 2 so that they are correct.  It still might be good to check them though.

Thanks for this great tutorial!!

 I compiled my openSUSE Linux 10.2 Kernel without a problem.

 As ckelloug mentioned ksyms files are fixed on openSUSE 10.2 and do not need fixing.
