CONFIG_EDD=y
*** That's a paste from /usr/src/linux/.config for the latest
Mandrake kernel, 2.6.8.1-10
If you're current kernel's .config (in /boot) shows
CONFIG_EDD=y .... then 'tech staff' is wrong. Otherwise..
Install the kernel-source rpm for your kernel if it isn't
already. Search it's .config and and if the line looks somethin
like # CONFIG_EDD is not set , remove the leading hash
(ie, uncomment the line) and edit it to CONFIG_EDD=y
Save that .config to a another, eg, .config.save ... and after
moving it back into .config after the 'make
mrproper' (mandatory) first step, then 'make oldconfig' and
continue with the steps to compile a new kernel.
make && make modules_install && make install
The last step is only fully productive if you first edited
Makefile before compiling, changed the EXTRAVERSION = (new_name),
and uncommented the line (about 460 somethin),
export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
Then the files and links needed are created in /boot, lilo (and
grub) is edited and run for you to make the new kernel an option
on boot. Your new kernel will not be the default, you'll have to
choose it on booting up.
