Compiling the Kernel

[mikerayner]

One of my systems does not work with default redhat kernel, due to RAID and SMP

I have to compile in the Kernel from source,
what options should I select during Kernel configuration?
also configuring GRsecurity patch from the source is necessary

ITF please help ?
anyone can help?

More information about your system is needed. What options/modules do you want/need? Do you want to enable loadable module support? Any other relevant information?

I need something like what is offered by redhat as a kernel in binary but with GRsecurity and ctx patch

I'm not sure what to offer for an answer. It's just like any other kernel compile, except you apply the patch first. What specifically are you needing help with in the process of doing this compile?

Once you have untarred the kernel and downloaded the grsecurities patch (Example):-

ln -s linux-2.4.20 linux
patch -p0 & grsecurity-1.9.8-rc2-2.4.20.patch

Type
lspci

Will tell you things about the current system (If required)

Then type

cd linux

make menuconfig

Select all the options required, you will see grsecurity near the bottom, select that and then choose the security level required.

All the other options really depend upon what you need/want - Make sure to add ext3 file system support (Not slected by default) if you are running it.

After selecting and saving all options:

make dep;make bzImage;make modules;make modules_install

Then to put the kernel into place (in /boot)

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux2420-grsec;cp System.map /boot/System.map-linux2420-grsec;cd /boot;rm -f System.map;ln -s System.map-linux2420-grsec System.map

Then edit lilo or grub to reflect the new kernel location.

This is an example - Modify to suit your needs.

It seems that you didn't read my post carefully, I know all of these:
after running

make menuconfig

moduls should be selected I don't know which one should be used, anyone knows what is the default in Redhat Binary Kernel?

I’ve compiled in your requested kernel, just contact me directly and get your Kernel.



P.S. Mike, please do not send 30 emails requesting a thing, I was very busy and had no time to come to the forum.
