redhat 9 and kernel 2.6x update help


I posted this in the Newbie forum, but I am afraid that I may not get a response there. So i'll try here.

Anyone had any luck updating redhat 9. I have been trying every weekend for the past 3 weeks to get it going and no dice. I keep getting errors at make install:

No mptbase found for kernel 2.6.X <- 9 and 8.1
No buslogic found blah blah blah

I have tried following a few different online tutorials, but of course with no luck. I have gotten rid of the buslogic error but no matter what I do I get the darn mptbase error. Any ideas about what configuration setting are linked with fusion mpt?

Thanks in advance!

prob solved

Case anyone else is in the same boat, I fugured out how to fix the problem.

make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cd /etc
edit modules.conf removing alias scsi mptbase and alias scsi mptxxxx <- cant remeber the name
edit modprobe.conf angain removing any reference of mpt anything
cd linux-2.6.x
make install

cd boot/grub

edit grub.conf removing "ro root=LABEL" <- this is not exact either it may be "ro root=/LABEL" or something like it.

Late,
Scotoma
