how to rebuild and optimize linux kernel
How to rebuild and optimize linux kernel specifically for your machine:
(1)prepare the tools you will need
>sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2 fakeroot
>sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
add this line to your repos (ubuntu synaptic->repos->other software):
ppa:brian-rogers/ppa
(2)optimize the kernel specifically for your machine:
>make menuconfig
(3)generate a debian package:
>fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-wzy-cheeta-2012 kernel_image kernel_headers
these two debian packages will be placed in /homezhengyuan directory.
(4)install the kernel as a debian package
dpkg --install linux-image-xxx.deb
dpkg --install linux-headers-xxx.deb
(5)Optional:
install gdeb from software center, so you can graphically manage the kernel that is to be used at start up
reboot your system and enjoy!
