Greg, how did you get on with this?

Did you copy the updated RPMs into the Mandrake/RPMS, Mandrake/RPMS2, 
Mandrake/RPMS3 directories?

What do  and  actually refer to?

I'm having a hell of a job getting this to work.  I added an extra directory 
for plf and contrib RPMS and ended up with 6 ISOs but many files were 
rejected because of missing dependencies.  Also the 1st CD ISO is not made 
which contains the kernel.

I'm not actually using Cooker but want to include all "update" RPMs.  Any 
advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Juan
Firstly, thanks very much for looking at this issue.

Sorry its taken so long to get back to you.  My email has been down for a 
week and I just go your email from 31/10/03!  Still can't compile a kernel 
from source. I downloaded & installed kernel-source-2.4.22-24mdk.i586.rpm.

(Note: Athlon 1 GHz CPU, 1024 MB SDRAM, Soltek SL-75KAV mobo)

Using the .config file that I copied before doing make mrproper - with the 
following parameters (can't remember whether I changed any of the APIC, 
MTRR or MATH_EMULATION options so I include them here):
# CONFIG_M586 is not set
CONFIG_M686=y
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set

Same problem here with floppy formatted to 1680 KB (fdformat /dev/fdu1680), 
except I don't get the "No setup signature found" message.  Just 
reboots after taking a lng time trying to read the floppy and showing:

Loading initrd.img...
Loading vmlinux .

Oh, OK.  There were no probs with this in 9.1 even tho those kernels were by 
default compiled with gcc-3.x.

OK, not Mandrake.  Perhaps kernel.org? Or maybe just ignore it altogether?

According to the developer who ported the driver to linux, Telemann 
(hardware manufacturer) did not make a full source release of their driver 
and unfortunately there is a binary component (independent of kernel 
interface) that cannot be compiled.  He has approached Telemann about 
getting this library recompiled or releasing the source code, but they have 
not yet responded.

So it looks like I'll have to go back to an ancient kernel.  Hopefully I can 
use the 9.1 kernel-source-2.4.21-0.25mdk.i586.rpm with 9.2.

Thanks very much for your advice Buchan.

[Cooker] kernel-source bug in 9.2

2003-10-25 Thread Sharrea Day
Hi
Not sure if this is the right place to ask/report ??  Is this a bug?

Trying to compile a kernel with gcc-2.96 using:
kernel-source-2.4.22-18mdk
config from current install of kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk
Soltek SL-75KAV motherboard
AMD Athlon 1GHz

nVidia 64MB GTS Pro graphics

I get the following error:

Do I need to report this as a bug to MandrakeSoft Bugzilla?
I need this kernel compiled with gcc-2.96 for my satellite internet 
connection card driver.  Tried the newbie list but nobody seems to know.

Any help much appreciated.
