According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), what is the path to the Linux kernel source and may be a symbolic link to the real Linux source code? (Please specify the full path with no version information.)

Explanation
The correct answer is /usr/src/linux. According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), the path to the Linux kernel source is typically located in the /usr/src directory. Within that directory, the linux folder represents the Linux kernel source code. It is important to note that this path may be a symbolic link to the actual location of the Linux source code.

After installing a compiled kernel, it can not find any modules that are needed to be loaded. What make target was likely missed while installing the kernel?

Explanation
The "modules_install" make target was likely missed while installing the kernel. This target is responsible for installing the kernel modules, which are necessary for the kernel to load the required modules at runtime. Without running this target, the installed kernel will not be able to find any modules that need to be loaded, resulting in the issue mentioned in the question.

3.

A new kernel version needs to be compiled to use a new feature. If the old kernel configuration file is available, which make target creates a configuration file for the new kernel based on the configuration of the old kernel?

Explanation
The make target "oldconfig" creates a configuration file for the new kernel based on the configuration of the old kernel. This means that it takes the existing configuration file and updates it with any new options or features that are available in the new kernel version. This allows the user to easily migrate their existing configuration to the new kernel version without having to manually go through and configure each option themselves.

Which directory contains the system-specific udev rule files? (Specify the absolute path including the directory name)

Explanation
The system-specific udev rule files are located in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory. This directory contains the configuration files that define how the system should handle devices and their corresponding events. These rules are used by the udev daemon to automatically create and manage device nodes in the /dev directory, based on the events generated by the kernel.

Which keyword is used in the /etc/inittab file to define the SysV-init default system runlevel?

Explanation
The keyword used in the /etc/inittab file to define the SysV-init default system runlevel is "initdefault". This keyword is used to specify the default runlevel that the system should boot into. The value assigned to this keyword determines which set of processes and services are started during the system startup process.

Which file tells GRUB the paths of the filesystem partitions in both Linux format and in the GRUB syntax? (Specify the file name only with no path information)

Explanation
The file "device.map" is used by GRUB to determine the paths of the filesystem partitions in both Linux format and in the GRUB syntax. It contains a mapping between the device names used by the Linux kernel and the corresponding device names used by GRUB. This file is important for GRUB to correctly locate and boot the operating system installed on different partitions.
