Prasanna,
so i have to place the source of the kernel in
/usr/src/linux and then how to recompile it is there any utility available
...
/usr/src/linux is usually a symlink to the actual directory of your
kernel source.
Once you are in the directory of your kernel source, type:
make menuconfig
and you will get a nice interface to configure your kernel. After you're
done, save your changes and then type:
make && make modules_install
to recompile your kernel. The kernel image will then be located in
arch/i386/bzImage; which you may have to copy to your boot drive, and
point grub (or your bootloader) to it. These instructions are valid only
for the 2.6.x kernels.
Hope this helps.
