Running Slackware Linux on Thinkpad T61
Compile a Customized Kernel and Package it for ThinkPad T61
Compile the Kernel
For 2.6.x kernel: (what? You're still using 2.4.x kernels on *laptop* for desktop use? It's unbelievable. :-))
- #cd /usr/src
- #tar xvf linux-x.x.x.tar.bz2
- #ln -s linux-x.x.x linux
- #cd linux
- #cp /boot/config .config
- #make menuconfig (use 'make oldconfig' if you like)
- #make
- #make modules_install
The .config file of mine is available through this link for reference. I will updated it if necessary.
Package the Kernel
I use two Slackware build scripts to package the kernel and kernel modules.
The SlackBuild script for kernel is available here.
The SlackBuild script for kernel modules is available here.
