Hi folks,
FedoraCore2
I tried a whole day unable to get my old scanner (SnapScan 310- connected to a ISA SCSI card) to work which has been working on this box while running RH8.0. It is still working on WinME on this box (a removable hard drive).
Now I want to recompile the kernel. Before doing so please advise;
1)
# cat /proc/version
Code:
Linux version 2.6.9-1.3_FC2 (bhcompile@porky.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)) #1 Mon Nov 15 14:46:43 EST 2004
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
Code:
kernel-2.6.5-1.358
kernel-2.6.8-1.521
kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131
kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2
I suppose to recompile "kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2". If I'm wrong please advise.me Tks.
2)
Before recompiling kernel is it possible to check whether ISA support has been enabled.
3)
Re /usr/src/KERNEL/Documentation/scsi/ directories
I could not locate them.
# find / -name KERNEL
find: /proc/2714/task: No such file or directory
# find / -name aha152.x.txt
find: /proc/2714/task: No such file or directory
# find / -name Documentation
find: /proc/2714/task: No such file or directory
4)
I have not recompiled kernel for prolonged time. Can folks please give me some guide lines in brief on following steps;
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
make dep
make clean
make zlilo
whether I have to work on runlevel 3.
I'm running GRUB. Should I change the last step to "make grub" Any precaution to be taken?
TIA
B.R.
