过程

1.下载http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.tar.gz

# tar zxvf linux-2.6.27.tar.gz -C /usr/src

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.27

# make menuconfig

# make (可能要很长时间)

# make modules_install

# cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-yourname

(注意:目录i386是根据你的系统类型, 如果是64位系统, 那就很可能是x86_64)

# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.27-yourname

# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27-yourname.img 2.6.27

# vi /etc/grub.conf
