Re: What is the fastest way to build and boot a kernel

Hi,

Can someone suggest what is the fastest way to build a minimal kernel and boot. For example if I am working on TCP and would like to make a small change and reboot, what is the fastest way, I rather not build the whole kernel.

Thanks

FWIW, check this out if you want to have a setup to make incremental changes to your kernel and test them out quickly. It describes a quick and easy setup to test kernel changes on an emulator without acutally rebooting your machine (helps with initial testing) http://www.mycpu.org/kernel-n00b-howto/ I use this setup for testing out small/quick changes. As mentioned earlier in this thread, compilation for incremental changes should not take long. HTH. -- Manoj
