where should i look for "CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE" in "make xconfig"
hello all,
few days back i got new internet connection through ADSL modem. now i'm trying to configure it. ..... downloaded the drivers....but when i was installling them, i got the following error .................................................................................................... ..................... the kernel at /lib/modules/2.4.26/build was compiled without the following option enabled: CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE. this option is needed for Driver Loader. Please enable this kernel option, re-compile the kernel and try again. .................................................................................................... ...................... #make xconfig but where should i look up for "CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE" ??? ( i'm searching it for last 1 hour ). anyone knowing the location can save my lot of time. regards |
Under Character Devices ---> Serial
However, this is on a 2.6.x kernel, so it likely will be slightly different. Cool |

but as i stated i'm on 2.4.26 ( slackware 10.0 ). last week i was trying to upgrade it to 2.6.x but faced some problem ( thats a different story...i'll upgrade it soon ) but what should i do with 2.4.x ??? for time being i'm switching to fedora core 2 ( i've this too on my system ) hopefully will get solution for 2.4.x too. regards |
I just found it on mine yesterday so I could build hsfmodem. I use make menuconfig with a 2.4.29 kernel but it should be similar enough. It was under Character Devices->Standard/Generic (8250/16550) UART. If that's the only thing you're adding you might consider adding it as a module so you only have to reinstall modules and not recompile the entire kernel, Then cp the new System.map to /boot.

Maybe it's looking for a module, instead of 'y' go for 'm'.
