Hi all,
I need some help. Here is the situation:
Distro: Redhat 7.1
Kernel: 2.4.2 or 2.4.4
Hardware: Pentium MMX 200mhz, 128 MB Ram
I am unable to successfully compile and install a kernel/modules.
Here is a summary of the steps that I took for the 2.4.2 and then the 2.4.4
kernel...
* cd /usr/src/linux
(a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.4.4 which contains the source
that shipped with RH 7.1)
* make mrproper
to clean the tree
* make oldconfig
supposedly will duplicate the shipped configuration if
.config not found?
* vi /usr/src/linux/Makefile
modified EXTRAVERSION to reflect the date for tracking purposes
with the 2.4.4 source I also modified gcc to refer to kgcc instead
* make dep
* make clean
* make bzImage
* make modules
* make modules_install
* vi /etc/lilo.conf
added the new image as linux-new
* lilo
ran lilo to update the mbr
* rebooted
What happened is that when the kernel rebooted it reported module not found
errors for my Intel EtherPro 100, ipchains, lp etc...
I am at a total loss as to what I should do. I have followed the
instructions at
http://redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7.1-Manual/customization-guide/kernel-
modularized.html
to the letter. The instructions there line up with the HOWTO.
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
