1 make sure that pnp os is OFF in bios - very important that one.
2 if it is a pnp modem set it up with isapnp
3 set up a link with a comm port
4 use minicom to test it.

Yipeee

What kind of modem and what are you typing to start it?  If it's a
WinModem, I've heard nothing but bad things.  If it can by jumpered to
a specific port, do it?  Are you connecting to your ISP?  Are you
using xisp to do this?  If you could, post alittle more info about
specifics to the problem.  Just saying "it dont work" doesn't help us
much.  Im not trying to sound harsh, just want to help.

I have read about reconfiguring the kernel, and I wish to do so.  BUT, I can't figure out how
to use the "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" commands... when used, I get a message saying
"no rule defined [etc.]"

What can I do?  What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have everything installed as per the kernel source.
Essentially, this includes:

1) The kernel source (e.g.
mirror.aarnet.edu.au/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.4.tar.gz) This gets
uncompressed into /usr/src:

cd /usr/src ; tar zxvf linux-2.2.4.tar.gz

2) A functional C compiler (gcc 2.7.2.3 is usually recommnended)

3) Binutils version 2.8.1.0.23 or later (ld -v will tell you)

4) bin86 tools (as86 and ld86 for making the bootsector).

5) A recent version of GNU make.

Basically just read /usr/src/linux/README and /usr/src/linux/Documentation
and make sure you have all the required bits and pieces. Then just cd
/usr/src/linux and type make menuconfig, selecting the stuff you want.
Exit & save, then type make dep ; make zImage. Copy the file
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to /vmlinuz, rerun lilo, and you're
basically done! Reboot and you should have a new kernel.

If this is the first time you've ever tried this, I would suggest reading
the relevant HOWTOs several times *first*.

Thank you very much... I have read several of the HOW TO's, so I have a small idea to start
with; I realized I was starting in the wrong place right after I posted.

But, thanks for condensing everything [mostly] I need to know!!

 Have you first tried setting up the modem on the correct com port? You
need to use the modem tool in the control panel to do that first.  If you
have Windows 95/98, you can look up exactly what com port it's on by
checking in the Windows control panel in the modem icon.  Once you find
the right com port, use the modem tool in X 's control panel to set it on
the right one. Then, use minicom to make sure it works ok. You can use
Linuxconf in X  to set up your nameserver and ppp configurations.

Assuming that you have the kernel sources (usually under /usr/src/linux):

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

Your error sounds like you're either in the wrong directory (no makefile)
or you don't have the kernel sources.  If the latter is the case, grab
the sources from somewhere (ftp.kernel.org,ftp.cs.helsinki.fi,...).

Hope that helps,
  Fred.

Actually I am having a similar problem.  I downloaded the latest kernel
from ftp.kernel and I un tar/gz'ed it and I printed the instructions and
followed them.. I got to the compile Kernel... where is the kernel at?  Do
I use cc kernel... I can't find the instructions on compiling... I'm very
new to this... but where do I look... I tried the command below and got
about four lines all of which have errors on them?  Any help is
appreciated.

Thanks

I have an Aureal vortex pci sound card, and it doesn't work in linux (X)... probably because I
have no idea how to make it work.

Any help with configuration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

yopu have support for PCI cards on  http://alsa.jcu.cz/
and HOW TO are there too:]

The kernel is at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage.  Copy this file to
where your kernel currently is, rerun LILO if you use that, then reboot.

Better yet, if you use LILO, you can compile the kernel using "make zlilo"
and it should do all the copying for you.

-- 
Reply to "cwv [at] idirect (dot) com"

The newly compiled kernel is, I believe, in the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ directory and
it's called zImage, if you used the "make zImage" command... if you used the "make bzImage"
command, as I did, it will be named bzImage.  Check out
http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/kb/cache/37.html

There is a good description of how to finish... make sure, after you copy the image to where
ever you want it to stay permanently, that you modify the lilo.conf file to point to it (see
the file... you'll know what I mean).  Then run lilo (e.g. type "lilo, [enter]") to map the
kernel... then reboot.

Have you tried the sndconfig program and played with the IRQ and DMA
settings?

Ok, I ran into a problem seconds after my last post... I was performing
the make boot, and the program exited with:

(last few lines)

nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$)\|\( [aU]
\_\|\(\.\.ng$\)\|\(LASH[RL]DI\)' | sort > System.map
make [1]: entering directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.4/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.4/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [boot] Error 2

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance!

nothing, apparantly you do not have the assembler.

do a whereis or locate or find for as86

Ok, now I have my system all kinds of FUBAR.  I found the as86 prog off
the internet and finally got the make bzImage work... now when I placed
the bzImage into the boot directory and vi lilo.conf then ran lilo.
Rebooted and chose my newlinux kernal and my computer rebooted. After a
few explertives I rebooted to find I can no longer use my ppp connection
or my network card through the xwindows, It just sits there... no dial
tone or anything?  Anyone know what I did this time?

thanks ahead of time..
