hi
i have new problem. my linux is redhat 2.4.20-8. my systemcall donot work becuse of macro. can you help me?
how can i write a macro?
where shod i add it?

you need to provide more information than that, what do you mean is doesn't work?

sara933, please don't hijack threads, if you have a problem, ask it in a new thread.

Sounds vaguely like your configuration doesn't actually match your hardware.

You might need to repeat the kernel-compile "cleanly," which you can do this way: (Your distro may vary...)

• cd /usr/src/linux
• mv .config foobar (notice the leading "."!)
• make distclean
• mv foobar .config (again notice the "." ... a file whose name begins with '.' is 'hidden' so you won't see it!)
• make ... (as before)

This procedure first renames the (hidden) configuration-file so that the next step won't destroy it. Then it forces all of the residue associated with any previous failed compiles, to be removed. Next, we move the config-file back into place. And now, we recompile the kernel. No matter what we may have done, or tried to do, before, we know that we are starting from a predictable point: a clean-slate.

Incidentally, it's a very good idea to make backup-copies of the ".config" (hidden) files; I keep all of them in a directory that lives in "/root."
