I installed kbd from the A8 disk series and loadkeys was placed in one of the bin directories; I verified that with "which loadkeys". I've since been able to compile the kernel all the way through now without errors. One thing to note though, after installing kbd, I had to start over again with the kernel recompile as the dependencies apparently changed. Now, I'm in the midst of just getting the new kernel to boot! My last attempt failed. I've compiled kernels in the past without much trouble but this time, I guess I got the wrong combinations of configs or something but the machine won't boot up at all with that kernel so on to more trial/error <sigh>. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Hallenbeck [mailto:chuckh@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2001 4:53 AM To: speakup e-mail list Subject: Re: Error while compiling kernel Hmmm... after sending my comment I checked for my loadkey program and could not find it on my Slackware 7.1 system either, although I have installed kbd as I suggested. However my 2.2.18 compile did not seem to mind its absence. In an earlier upgrade I solved the missing loadkey problem by installing kbd, but apparently the co;ntext has now changed in Slackware 7.1. I will be interested to hear how you solve your problem. Regards - Chuck On Sat, 20 Jan 2001, Charles Hallenbeck wrote: > > Make sure you have included the package 'kbd' with your installation.
