Need some help re-compiling version 2.4.18-6mdk of
mandrake linux. I installed this version from a cdrom onto my
laptop. The problem I am encountering is that this version enables
automatic power management by default. On my laptop SIS630 this causes my
laptop to power down every few secounds.
I am familiar with using make -e on tar files and
changing the parameters that I need to change, but since I installed this from a
cdrom I do not find any tar file in the /usr/src directory, or anywhere else
that I can think to look. The only kernel that I can identify is in the
/boot directory, and it is listed as vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk. I am not sure
how to re-compile this to enable me to turn off the automatic power management
option.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike Pruden
