Sorry, email's in rich text format, I'll switch it to plain text.... I tried using
makemenuconfig also with same results.... In fact that's how I found out I was
getting compile errors. Genkernel Doesn't give you an error message.... The only
thing that I can think of is that I must not be selecting a needed option that allows
netfilter to be included in the kernel. I'm new at building my own kernel, used to
use mandrake but wanted something that I could build from the ground up. Anyways if
someone knows of a web site that has a list of common options for
makemenuconfig/makexconfig please let me know.
Thanks for your help/time!!
Jeff

First of all do not send emails in HTML format!
Many people dislike HTML emails including me :)
Second, answer on your sort of question:
If you want to compile your own kernel, whatever that exactly means, then why are you
using genkernel? Genkernel isn´t perfect.
I tried genkernel too to configure a 2.4.x kernel but didn´t work for me either. Best
way is to manually configure the kernel.
Go to /usr/src/linux and do a make menuconfig and select the things you need for your
current hardware. After that make dep clean && make bzImage modules modules_install
Then copy the bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ into your /boot and
configure your bootloader.
Offtopic, I am running the 2.6.0 test kernel atm.
Thats all,
