I went to www.netraverse.com and found out that the newest patch for Win4Lin for SMP kernels is 2.6.11. I have to tell you that no kernel I've ever built myself (as in without genkernel) has booted. I downloaded 2.6.11 kernel source from www.kernel.org , and it seems to have built correctly. I followed the following steps:
cd /usr/src tar xvfj /home/michael/linux-2.6.11.12.tar.bz2 rm linux; ln -s linux-2.6.11.12 linux cd linux make mrproper make menuconfig make bzImage make modules I didn't apply the patch because I wanted to see if I could get the vanilla kernel to work before altering it. Everything seemed to build correctly. As I've had many many problems with trying to boot kernels without an initrd (on top of the fact that no manually-built kernel has worked), I emerged mkinitrd. WWhen I tried to use it, it gave me an error saying that /lib/modules/linux-2.6.11.12 is not a directory. An ls showed me that it didn't exist in any form. My question is where are the modules that were built? Can I just move the modules over (once I find them), or do I need to create some type of subdirectory structure? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
