Well, I don't really know. Ignorance is bliss, you know. I DID determine that
I had smp enabled. Probly because I didn't read all the entries when I went
thru that section of make xconfig. I guess that coulda added some size to the
kernel. I also compiled in my sound card drivers, SCSI stuff, USB stuff.
Between your recommendation of compiling in AIC7xxx support and Bruce
Marshals recommendation of compiling everything as modules. I'm at a loss on
what to do.
I re-ran make xconfig. Left as much out as I could and compiled my sound card
as a module and the SCSI card I compiled into the kernel. I removed the USB
stuff. The goal being to compile a kernel that works first, and then
re-compile and add stuff in later, if I need it. Problem is, I'm now getting
more errors during 'make bzImage'.
After 'make dep', I get a message that .../include/linux/modversions.h was
not updated. When I do 'make bzImage', I get a slew of errors all relating to
modversions.h. I ran 'make clean' before and after 'make dep', and I get the
same errors. Fairly frustrating, I must say. It's been a while since I felt
this dim.
I just deleted the entire linux-2.4.9 driectory tree and I'm gonna start from
scratch from the tarball. But not tonight.
Thanks for your help, though. Someday this thick head of mine will get it...
Regards,
Tim
