[Sussex] Newbie Kernel problems ...

[Dominic Clay]

Geoff,

Yes I have the 2.2.20 kernel which was _a_binary_ found on the install
disk.
I also have a working 2.4.18 kernel that was downloaded _as_a_binary_.

I'm sure it must be possible to compile it myself but where do I find
that setting?

I was quite keen on this 2.4.21 source when I saw in the menuconfig menu
reference to my Radeon graphics card.  Would a driver in the kernel help
my other problems finding a driver for this Radion mobility card under
X?

Even if this is not the case.. (and I suspect it's not).  This whole IDE
thing is damned anoying and apparently completely undocumented
anywhere... :{

I also need to have a functioning .config file to compile lots of things
against so I feel totally stuck.

On another note: 
Steve D:  Do you still want to have a go with my old USB broadband
modem?  I have found it, dug it out and it is available whenever you
wish :)

Dominic

Dominic,

I remember that your laptop seems to have a lot of problems with the IDE

devices.  There is probably some driver that you haven't included or
some 
setting that is incorrect which is causing this problem.  Neither of
these 
things would trigger any error in kernel compilation. 

As I recall the only bootdisk we could get to use your IDE devices
correctly 
was a Debian 2.2 disk - this suggests to me that something has changed
in 
later kernels that you need to address.

I assume you kept your old kernel?  If so, reboot, have another go and
maybe 
search the web to see if you can find anything out about the
motherboard.
