Please cc: me as well, as I'm on to many lists as is. . .
Irecently built 2.4.0 on two diferent x486 PCs and neither of them
recognised the new module directory structure found in the 2.4.x
kernels. I did not have this problem on the Pentium and better
machines that I built this same kernel on. I got around the problem
by making a symlink from where the module actually was
(/lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net/) to where the system was
looking for it (/lib/modules/2.4.0/net/) and all is well. . .for now.
I was wondering if there was any light that could be shed on why this
might happen? I have only found this to be a problem on 486s,
everything bigger has worked fine. Details below:
Feature Working Not Wotking
Processor Pentium + 486 (486DX2-66, 486DX-50)
Distrobution Debian unstable Debian stable (unstable caused other
problems)
RAM 16Mb + 16Mb +
Hdd size 1Gb + 540Mb +
Modules involved Any network cards (that is all I was using)
More info can be provided if needed. This is low priority, I was
wondering if you had any ideas why (or how to get around it, other
than my solution).
Thank you all for your time, and for producing a kernel that is worth
all this work <grin>.
