Stop. Hmm, that file (from the kernel-source rpm) exists on my box. > Am I missing a step or some other sources? Should I not be using this > kernel? IIRC, you need to run "make config" or "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig", even if you don't make any changes to the actual configuration. It creates a symlink in the include/ directory after it is run that will (should) prevent this problem. (The symlink that is created depends on the build architecture that is involved). You should also edit the Makefile to change the EXTRAVERSION value. > Also, I have an ASUS A7M266-D motherboard with two Athalon MP > processors.

Weird, I know of two people with smp athlons, and the athlon smp kernels work well for them (or so they say). > I'd like to get PPTP installed and work on getting my scanner to work. > Both of which require some kernel mods. Huh? Not pptp. Well for me, the rpms (server and client) rebuilt, installed and worked right away no problem (on rh73, but rh80 should be no different)... what needs patching?
