Hi I'm trying to get Linux running on a pentium box with an aha2940 SCSI controller (PCI bus). I have got it running - using a kernel from the DSTC ftp site and the Slackware distribution from the Infomagic 4CD August 95 set. My problem is this... I need to configure the kernel to support a PCI NIC (Accton EN1203), so I have to remake the Kernel, but the source i have doesn't have aha2940 support available... I tried to use a new kernel tree (from the DSTC site) which came in a file called linuxaha2940-1.2.13-tar.gz, but when I tried to run make on it, it stopped with an error like this: no rule to make target '/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.0... when I check , I find that I have /usr/lib/gcc/lib/i486-linux/2.6.3... Can someone tell me if I can upgrade my current system (which is a 1.2.13 kernel, but mostly setup for 1.2.8 a.out stuff) to do what I want ? Do I need to go to an elf system to run the aha2940 ? Do I have to scrap it all and get a whole newer distribution ? If I can keep what I've got and just upgrade the compiler and a few bits...what are they ? Any helpful advice would be great Thanks for your time Eric
