Hello,

I am running Red Hat 8 with kernel 2.4.18-14.

I am attempting to compile a kernel with ACPI support for my
Compaq Presario 725 notebook. These are the steps I have done:

1) Copy the kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config from /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs
to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
2) Edit the Makefile and change the line that has EXTRAVERSION = -14custom to EXTRAVERSIOn = -14acpi
3) make oldconfig
4) make xconfig
5) Enable the ACPI options. Disable the APM options
5) Save and exit
6) make dep clean
7) make bzImage modules

At stage 7 it stops, I am not sure whether it is at bzImage stage
or modules stage. But the last two lines were
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/driver`
make: ***[_mod_drivers} Error 2

I am not sure if the steps I have done are correct. Any advice
will be appreciated ! Thanks in advance !

Sorry toolkit...

This is your third thread on the same subject...
This is what helps make the forum unreadable.
Please place your posts on the end of the thread rather than breaking the rules and double/triple posting.
They rise to the top after each post, so will not get lost...

so where's the real thread about this then?
by the way this sort of cross posting also makes it difficult for those of us who actually want to read the answers to such questions...

look at the searh tab and type
how to config a kernel

thanks!

your welcome

My apologies. I will reattach my latest "adventures" in kernel compiling
to my old thread.

Assuming this guy is going to do this, can we *PLEASE* not reply to this thread.
