The following configures your Redhat kernel source to the flavor of Redhat kernel you're currently running, if you choose the '???' appropriately: cd /usr/src/linux cp configs/kernel-2.4.9-???.config .config make oldconfig The final step is to edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile and change the definition of EXTRAVERSION to match the version of the running kernel, I can't remember if you need to run make depend too, maybe that makes the needed version.h -- rec -- _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
