View Full Version : How to install FC2 with custom kernel?

I currently have FC2 installed as a guest OS on VMware workstation and I would like to go to the next logical step of being able to dual boot with XP.

I have an Abit NF7-S (REV 2) and am currently using the SiI controller for a RAID 0 array. In order for both FC2 and XP to co-exist I must install using a kernel that has the RAID modules compiled in. Configuring and compiling the kernel I am able to do succesfully (I think!).

My problem is, how do I boot from this kernel *AND* install FC2?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

If you can configure(make *configure) and compile(make && make modules && make modules_install) kernel with RAID modules, just do a: make install.
Your new kernel will automatically be added to /boot and to grub.conf.
You will be able to boot new kernel from grub after reboot.
