I still have not figured out how to build the kernel from source. I installed a fresh version of Mandrake 7.1 (Developer option) with all the standard defaults. The only unusual thing I did was to create ReiserFS filesystems (except for /boot). Now I have a "virgin" system, so I installed the latest source kernel RPM (kernel-2.2.17-6mdk.src.rpm) from Cooker. I am trying to get the DPT I2O driver working and it appears that this kernel already has the patches to support it. Next, I started the build: rpm -ba --target=i586 kernel-2.2.spec A while later it failed, and I noticed several errors similar to the following: newport.c:11: asm/gfx.h: No such file newport.c:12: asm/ng1.h: No such file newport.c:14: asm/newport.h: No such file The last error lines were: + %make bZImage /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6671: fg: no job control Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6671 (%build) Frankly, I don't think it is possible to build a kernel on a "stock" install. The people who build kernels must have some other files installed that are not present on my system. How can I figure out what is missing? Thanks, Jeff
