Hello,

I am following this - http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV ... Own_Kernel - in my first attempt at building my own kernel.

But I am not too sure how to specify the CONFIG_

Details here - http://serverfault.com/questions/383260 ... nux-kernel

Would appreciate it if some one could explain how I should be specifying my CONFIG_ params.

Thanks!
Calvin

The kernel sources come with configuration scripts. As root, try this:

cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config  # Copies the Linode config to the source tree for you to base your own config off of
make oldconfig  # Asks you about configuration options that may not have been covered by the older kernel version
make menuconfig

Once you're in menuconfig, press / to search for a configuration option.

Ah, the "/" tip is cool. Thanks!

And after messing with this config "nonsense" for a couple of hours, I am beginning to get it. Thanks mate!

Stuck at the `make install` step...

You can ignore that message. The kernel image has been copied to /boot/vmlinuz, and now you can configure pv-grub (if you haven't already).
