I copied the file to /root, called it sound.configuration, edited out the surrounding text, chmod u+x so it's executable and typed ./sound.configuration (I think).

I think if you get error messages, it usually means you've done something wrong in the configuration stage. It certainly did with me. (Or forgetting to clean each time.)

I think the method to compile your own kernel with the least hassles is: 0. make sure you have a functional rescue floppy (general advice) 1. get the Debian package kernel-source-2.0.27 2. get the Debian package kernel-package 3. install them 4. do a make config or make menuconfig or make xconfig (set the DISPLAY for root correct) 5. read the /usr/doc/kernel-package/README and/or the man page of make-kpkg 6. do a make-kpkg clean make-kpkg -revision custom.1.0 kernel_image (both in the source directory) 7. you get then a kernel-image Debian package in the parent directory 8. search for a formatted floppy or format one 9. install the kernel-image Debian package with something like dpkg -i .deb (you will now be asked for the floppy) 10. if you compiled some features in the kernel you had as modules before edit now /etc/modules.conf and comment the lines out which describe the features you have compiled in 11. try it and reboot Greetings, Christian -- Christian Meder, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the railroad to me ?

trouble here too, I hope the new modutils takes care of this, I like sound with my quake...:-) Rich M [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 9 Mar 1997, johannes martinez wrote: > Date: Sun, 09 Mar 1997 13:34:11 -0500 > From: johannes martinez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Problems Compiling Kernel 2.0.27 > Resent-Date: 9 Mar 1997 18:40:22 - > Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Resent-cc: recipient list not shown: ; > > Thought wrote: > > > > I normally don't compile sound board support, because I never use sound in > > Linux, but I was just messing around and I decided 'what the hell' and > > included it when I was remaking my kernel, and I got a bunch of missing > > configuration files/setup errors when trying to compile too.

Re: Problems Compiling Kernel 2.0.27
I normally don't compile sound board support, because I never use sound in Linux, but I was just messing around and I decided 'what the hell' and included it when I was remaking my kernel, and I got a bunch of missing configuration files/setup errors when trying to compile too. I just thought 'ahh screw it' and compiled without sound. Is there a problem in 2.0.27 with sound?

Problems Compiling Kernel 2.0.27
Hi! I have been trying to recompile my kernel 2.0.27. I would like to use Menuconfig but I'm missing the file 'lxdiaglog.o' in /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? So I tried running 'make config' that goes along fine until I try to compile the sound board option. gcc tells me I'm missing the 'configure' in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound. I have read the Readme.linx file, but I don't how to run the script that is appended to the end of Readme.linux after I have deleted the first part of file. Also I have tried to compile the 2.0.27 kernel without sound. 'make config' works fine but, when try running 'make dep' gcc say it can't find 'mkdep.c' even though 'mkdep.c' is present in /usr/src/linux/scripts. If it is in the wrong directory which directory should I put it in. Thanks in advance, & 73 for now. Dave Loken VE6DJL
