compiling kernel

dear all,

I have a 3com NIC card configured under RedHat 7.3. The default kernel
recognizes perfectly the NIC card using the 3c515 driver.

I am trying to compile the kernel 2.4.22 and it doesnt work. I have
looked around on the Internet and I have read that I need to use
ISA PnP. Does I just need to activate ISA PnP support in the kernel or I
have to do something else?

Many thanks

Miguel

i build with 'isa pnp' enabled on everything, and have no use for i=

i think enabling it an okay thing to do.

being a little more specific as to 'where' you see a failure, would
help. for example, what do you get with 'ifconfig' , or one of the
'if-up' scripts ...

Re: compiling kernel

Sorry for not being more precise...I meant that although with ifconfig =
using
the default kernel I got the interface up,
using the 2.4.22 kernel the network interface is down. I havent tried
anything else than doing a /etc/init.d/network restart.

HTH Regards,

Miguel

as i see it, there are two considerations here. the new kernel, an=

when a build a kernel, i like to compare the previous kernel's

toward the problem. i'd suggest you check and see that you've enabled
all the 'network' related features; seems to me, they've spread them

hello again,

When I said default kernel I meant the default kernel provided by RedH=

the 7.3 version.
Is there any way to get that .config file in those rpm kernels?

Many thanks in advance

on a default rpm install of the RH-8 kernal sources, there's a

Re: compiling kernel

Its in your /boot directory. Look for a file called=20
config-REDHAT-RELEASE-NUMBER where REDHAT-RELEASE-NUMBER is the `uname=20
-r` of the RedHat kernel RPM. ie, if your running 2.4.20-20.9 like I=20
am, look for /boot/config-2.4.20-20.9. This file is a part of the=20
kernel RPM that you installed (in my case, kernel-2.4.20-20.9.i586.rpm)=

Re: compiling kernel

Just one question. This config file is changed after you boot the syste=
m and sets
all the modules that should be used, or it is
always the same config file? How is that file changed?

Many thanks in advance

Miguel

Re: compiling kernel

This file is put in the /boot directory by RedHat. I suspect as a=20
convenient place to store it, since you don't *have* to have the kernel=
=20
sources installed. You can also find various RedHat configuration file=
s=20
in /usr/src/linux/configs if you installed the kernel-source RPM.=20
Whichever pre-built configuration you wish to start with, it should be=20
moved to: /usr/src/linux/.config in order to build an identically=20
configured kernel as RedHat provides.

If you want to use it as a starting point for customizing your kernel,
copy it there, then run "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" (and then=20
"make depends") before building your new kernel (or modules).

Re: compiling kernel

hello again,

I meant that if that .config file generated by the rpm kernel changes =
at
boot time. As Kevin has commented, I guess that It is the preconfigured
config file for the rpm kernel.

Many thanks
