If you use BootX, one way of upgrading your kernel is the following:
Download the latest kernel source and 'tar -zxf' it someplace (like
into /usr/src/)
You could also patch your old kernel using the patch command.
Inside /usr/src/linux, you have three choices:
make xconfig
make menuconfig
make config
Each of the above commands configures the kernel. You can find all kinds
of ways to get into trouble there.
Next, run the following:
make deps
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
If all these work, you will have the file: /usr/src/linux/vmlinux
You should copy this file to your MacOS partition to place in your System
Folder later.
Finally, you need to symlink /boot/System.map to /usr/src/linux/System.map
This allows any modules to work properly and reduces complaints later on.
Be sure to keep a backup of your old vmlinux, System.map, and
/usr/src/linux directories in case something goes wrong (which is all too
often).
