Hello,
I've run into a stumbling block using redhat 9. I'm trying to at bare minimum turn on acpi support in the existing kernel and recompile it so that my laptop will shutdown properly (without acpi, it halts but remains powered on). In the past, I've downloaded the most recent kernel source, patched it with the acpi patches, made a few changes to the config and compiled with minimal hassle. The addition of the NPTL and if I'm not mistaken the low-latency patch make me a little hesitant to just up and reinstall the kernel completely. I've tried using the sources from the kernel-source-2.4.20-8 rpm, but when I turn acpi on the compile fails during 'make modules', if I try to compile the kernel with the config found at /boot/config-2.4.20-8, I get failures during 'make bzImage'
Any ideas?
During my stint with Phoebe Beta, I tried to compile a 2.5 kernel and had a similar problem with ACPI and compiling the modules.
Has anyone tried to compile a 2.5 kernel on Shrike? If so, what were the results?
Hopefully, this problem means that the 2.5 builds will work correctly. (I haven't tried to compile a 2.4 version, from Red Hat source.)
This might be a problem with both versions.
Jim
