I am in the middle of trying to compile the e100 module for the RedHat 7.1
2.4.2-2 kernel. It is my understanding that you do not need a BOOT source,
all you need to do is copy the BOOT config file to the kernel source
directory as show in step 4 below (someone please correct me if I'm
wrong!!!). Below are the steps I am attempting to use in order to compile
my e100 module under the BOOT kernel. I won't make any promises about them
as I'm still in the learning
process too :-)
1. Install the BOOT kernel RPM (kernel-BOOT-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm)
2. Install the kernel source RPM (kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm)
3. Boot into the BOOT kernel (uname -r shows 2.4.2-2BOOT)
4. cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/config/kernel-2.4.2-i386-BOOT.config
/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/.config
5. then do a 'make clean' and a 'make dep' in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.2
directory
6. change directories to my e100 source code and change the KSP define in
the Makefile to the following:
KSP := /usr/src/linux-2.4.2
7. Compile the driver and install the resulting module into the
initrd.img.

Hello.
Basic question here, but where can I get the source of the 2.4.18-3BOOT
kernel that redhat uses on its bootdisks? I'm trying to compile the e1000
module (still) and have been running into problems with running a module
compiled for regular 2.4.18-3 with the bootdisks (loads of missing
symbols).
