Hello List, I'm replying to my last reply to add info I installed some developer rpms from the rh9 CDs. Now I'm up to choosing a .config file to copy into the /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build/ directory. My kernel is the stock rh9. I have an Intel P4 with 512MB memory. Each of these files has the entry "CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y". Which should I choose? Here are my choices: 2:15PM[2070] find /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build/configs/ -type f -iname \*\.config\* -print /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build/configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686-bigmem.config /kernel-2.4.20-athlon-smp.config /kernel-2.4.20-athlon.config /kernel-2.4.20-i386-BOOT.config /kernel-2.4.20-i386-smp.config /kernel-2.4.20-i386.config /kernel-2.4.20-i586-smp.config /kernel-2.4.20-i586.config /kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config /kernel-2.4.20-i686.config /kernel-2.4.20-x86_64-smp.config /kernel-2.4.20-x86_64.config The build instructions from make are: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6' ** ** /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build/.config is missing ** if this is a custom kernel then you need to run make config in /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build. ** if this is a distribution kernel then you need to copy the correct .config file to /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build. ** for RedHat kernels the .config file is one of the /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build/configs/*.config ** Regards, Frank K On Friday 13 June 2003 11:20 am, FrankK wrote: > Thanks for the responses David and Randy, > > Question for David: > > Do I need to install the Kernel_Source rpm from my rh9 cds to make my > kernel headers available? > > I have this and a pcmica kernel package installed when I do an rpm query: > kernel-2.4.20-6 > > less /usr/src/emu10k1-v0.20a/config > # Driver build options > KERNEL_SOURCE :=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build > DEBUG := n > SEQUENCER_SUPPORT := n > > Currently I have a link in the build directory: > 12:32AM[2030] ls -ltr /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ > total 336 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 May 28 23:53 build -> > ./../../usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6 > drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 28 23:53 kernel > > Suggestions for the my next step? > > Regards, Frank K > > > -----Original Message----- > From: shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On > Behalf Of David Eduardo Gomez Noguera > Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 5:11 AM > To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Build Advice Please > > > > make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/emu10k1-v0.20a/scripts' > > > > > > /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/build directory does not exist.
