Ok, so I did try to update the kernel using mandrake-update. Everything went well (or so I thought) until I rebooted my machine. A lot of things were missing in the new kernel, such as mounting fat drives and networking. Is there any way to restore these features? Do I need to re-install or venture into the wonderful world of kernel compilation (although that would be a new domain to explore for me). Fortunately, I downloaded the source of the kernel too, so I can recompile if need be.
I'd like to be up to date on this, but I'm very newbie in the area of kernel modules and kernel compilation. I checked out kernel.org, but there are no informations regarding the actual compiling part, just an archive of kernels. Any help on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks!
