Re: Time for Users to Start Testing 2.5

Pretty easy the key is to make sure the .config is set
correctly via menuconfig / xconfig whatever you want
so here are basically the steps I took to get myself
up on 2.5.63 with patch -bk5 applied
cd /usr/src
untar the linux kernel
cd linux-2.5.63
patch -p1 < /tmp/patch-2.5.6.3-bk5
make clean; make mrproper
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make bzImage
make modules; make modules_install
make install
I then had to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and tweak the boot
device remove the LABEL section and replace with /dev/hda5
And reboot.
