Hello, I was successful in compling the kernel and the modules from the source package kernel-source-2.4.20_2.4.20-13_all.deb as downloaded from ftp.debian.org.
Question #1: When compiling the kernel modules, where do they get placed? Where do I look under /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 to find them? I have also downloaded kernel-image-2.4.20-amiga_2.4.20-5_m68k.deb for comparison purposes. I had been previously using a 2.4.20 kernel and modules from the package: kernel-image-2.4.20-amiga_2.4.20-0.1_m68k.deb Question #2: I start X at boot time (this was automatically set up when X was installed). I have noticed on the kernel I compiled myself, and the -5 kernel image I downloaded for comparison, that xdm will die with a buserr, but runs just fine on the -0.1 kernel. The dmesg fragment is below: Linux version 2.4.20 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #2 Thu Jan 8 19:23:05 CST 2004 Amiga hardware found: [A2000] VIDEO BLITTER AUDIO FLOPPY KEYBOARD MOUSE SERIAL PARALLEL A2000_CLK CHIP_RAM PAULA DENISE_HR AGNUS_HR_NTSC ZORRO On node 0 totalpages: 3072 zone(0): 3072 pages. zone(1): 0 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
