I have successfully compiled kernel 2.6.1 for standalone athlon, running on Suse 9. However, I would like to see a copy of other successful fstab and modprobe.conf files because I am not very confident that mine is right.
i am not sure i understand ..
modprobe.conf and fstab files are for a lack of better terms, system dependant ....
for instance ..
for example pertaining to the fsab :
i have 5 harddrives in my machine where as you may have 1, or 7 ..
and for example pertaining to the modules.conf ..
i have an nvidia gfx card where i have a line in modules file for it, but you may have a 2 meg trident video card ..
although these are pure examples, i am not sure what your getting at by wanting to see other peoples files ...
I have a nvdiia mx440 I believe, having upgraded the driver from 'minion. I have a via82xx onboard sound card. Both are working but I get some errors on the sound card. I have 1x sata maxtor 80 gb hard drive 1x usb maxtor ext hd, I have epson 740 printer, perfection scanner, canon digital camera, 1x atapi dvd drive which gives the following error with 'dmesg'.
My modprobe.conf is too long to add here. I had alot of problems upgrading, mainly due to module-init-tool and configuring fstab to load my hardware. I was wanting to see successful files to compare mine to so I could see I did it right. I am not sure of the new sysfs system and since I get an error message while booting 'can't mount /proc/bus/usbfs no such filesystem' or something like that. However I am getting access to the usb devices Ok but I sometimes can't access the dvd drive.
