Hi All, I have a Gravis Ultra Sound card.. tring to get it to work with a Redhat Linux ver 4.1.. Now what I can understand from reading the How to's, I have to recompile the kernal.. Going through and trying this.. I havn't had much success.. I seam to come up with a kernel with errors in it.. Here is the procedure that I used.. May be some one can spot were I went wrong and point me in the right direction.. Logged in as root.. and changed dir to /usr/src/linux2.1 something.. sorry I forgot the number.. I think thats for the version any way.. once into the dir I ran the command "make menuconfig"... And configured things the way that I thought that they should be.. May be this is were I am at fault.. When finished with "make menuconfig" I then ran "make dep", "make clean"... After all of that I then proceeded to run "make zImage", this took some time to compile... Once this Had finished I then proceeded to copy the "zImage" file as "vmlinuz-new" file to /boot ... With all of this completed I added another entry to LILO to be able to boot off "vmlinuz-new" having the lable of "new"... Now I can still boot my old kernel with out problems... but the new kernel will boot... but with lots of errors... without the sound card working and suffing up the Network card as well.. as booting it come up with a message can't find certain modules etc... Can some see were I went wrong.. thanks --------------------------------------------------------- Mark Williamson mark@express.bbs.net.au Sysop of Express BBS (Melbourne, Australia) An Excalibur BBS.
