I am trying to make a custom 2.4.2 kernel for use on my Sid box. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Downloaded kernel source from ftp.kernel.org 2) Extracted source to /usr/src/linux 3) Did "make xconfig" and selected what I wanted. Here is where I'm not sure what I should do. I want to use make-kpkg to make my kernel, but I want to do it right. I have tried a couple times to make my own kernel, but it hasn't worked very well. upon running lilo and rebooting, debian is looking for modules that shouldn't be in my new kernel and then my NIC doesn't work even though I know I have the right driver selected (via-rhine). In addition to what I have selected with make xconfig, I also need to add my soundcard drivers for my aurel vortex 2 card. They are in a .tar.gz file that contains a makefile, a readme, mod_conf, one .h file and a few .c and .o files. Would it be best to just install the soundcard drivers after I finish the rest of the kernel? what commands should I run to make the kernel so that I'm not running into the modules problems that I describes above? Thanks, David Frey _____________________________________________________________ Wake up screaming. . . http://www.detonate.net/
