Explanation
Upgrading the kernel involves configuring desired modules, compiling the kernel and modules, and finally installing the kernel image. This is followed by a system reboot (with fingers crossed!) to load the new kernel. All of this is documented in the README'' file which comes with each kernel package. Further information can be found in the Documentation/'' subdirectory. A particularly helpful file there is ``Configure.help'' which contains detailed information on the available kernel compile options and modules.
