making a custom kernel slightly differently.
since redhat 8.0 comes with gcc-3 I downloaded the
sm56-gcc3.tar.gz file from blah blah
for some reason when I try this driver with the
default installation kernel I get a Segmentation fault
message, so I downloaded
cpp-2.96-98.i386.rpm and gcc-2.96-98.i386.rpm from
rpmfind.net and with gnorpm removed the default gcc-3
and cpp-3 from my system and installed the 2.96
version of both files, and so I recompiled the kernel
again, more detailed I did a
make mrproper; cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config
.config;
make oldconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make modules;
make modules_install; make install
this gave me a kernel-2.4.18-14custom kernel but
compiled with gcc-2.96 so I booted this custom kernel
and tried the sm56-gcc3 drivers and worked perfectly,
so there you go, thats how I got it running, thanks to
Rajesh Kizhuveetil for writing the driver and everyone
who helped me, well its 3.40 am and Im tired, good
luck everyone.
Ok this is what i need to do.
Can someone put this into the exact way i have to do this?
Like step one do this then step 2 this etc as i'm not going to buy another modem because of this problem.
I have downloaded the 2 files needed, i have kernel developement installed and i have these files on my other hdd which automatically gets mounted .
Please understand it is my first time doing this kernel making.
Also i need to keep all my origanal files.
