Configure the Kernel

• Install kernel sources

• One must apply the bootsplash kernel patch

  • Patch rev must match your kernel rev !
    • cd /usr/src/linux
    • patch -p1 < bootsplash_patch_file

• Your distribution's kernel might already have this patch applied (SuSE kernel is OK)

• Configure kernel (zless /proc/config.gz) (slightly different 2.4 vs. 2.6, see next slides)

• Compile and install kernel
