Kernel upgrade procedure
The procedure for upgrading the kernel is documented at:
If you are not already familiar with building a Linux kernel, please read the directions for your
architecture carefully before proceeding with the kernel upgrade.
The recommended upgrade path is to install the Linux kernel headers and source, build the kernel for
your machine to confirm that all components needed to build are in place, then apply the patches and
build the new version (e.g., 2.2.19-6.2.7HP). This is a bit safer; by retaining the ability to boot into the
original kernel you are not left at the mercy of your backup boot disk in case something goes wrong.
