Hello, i want to use the kernel 2.4.20 with my slackware 8.0 (gcc 2.9.5.3 and so). I have donwloaded the source for that kernel and unpack it. After that i run the script "checkout".. It connect to the server an installs speakup into the kernelsourcen. Then i have done the following: make mrproper (cp /us/src/2.2.20/.config /usr/src/linux/.config make oldconfig make dep make bzImage After that i have a new kernel with 950 KB and it is configured as my kernel 2.2.20. I copy the kernel onto my DOS-hd and reboot the system. If i try to start the new kernel via loadlin, the system crashes and reboots. My synthezier (APOLLO II) does not say anything. Any idea, what i can do? Can i use the cvs speakup with kernel 2.4.20 or only with 2.4.19? Thanks. Dietmar
