You need NLS to use VFAT/FAT32 support. From the error messages it seems you are trying to compile FAT support as a module (fat.o) but not NLS (nls.o) as well. With my custom kernel, in menuconfig-filesystems I have the following selected as modules (all selected = M): Native Language Support (Unicode, codepages) ... DOS FAT fs support MSDOS fs support ... VFAT (Windows 95) fs support Codepage 437 ... NLS ISO 8859-1 If you're not in US, then the last two would be different. > > > > > > > A second totally unrelated question...

There are two kernel files in the source tree after compilation, uncompressed and compressed. (I believe) Get the compressed one, in the arch tree called zImage...

It is a GUI kernel config program and is much more intuitive than menuconfig. I will assume that you are referring to a SB16 PnP from here on. You want to compile sound support as a module and then add the correct IRQ, DMA, and addresses in the kernel config. Then you should compile with 'make dep; make clean; make zImage' when that is done run 'make modules; make modules_install' and your kernel should be OK. Copy it to /vmlinuz and reboot. You may then need to use isapnptools to set-up your sound card. Compile your kernel and then get that package. Hope that helps, -Ian _ Ian K.

Re: Building Kernel for Sound
Ok, I have the right package now. I looked at the make-kpkg man file and its a lot more complicated then I had hoped :) I ran make-kpkg and it just made the files again as I had before. I probably changed a ton of things in the .config file while I was messing things up with the stuff I was doing before. What is the easiest way for me to take the kernel I am currently using (the default one) and add the soundblaster support. Or if there isn't an easy way, what order of steps should I use to make a kernel? thanks again! Doug G.

An easy way to do all this with Debian is to use 'make-kpkg', which is in kernel-package. This compiles the kernel and creates a .deb package. When you install this with dpkg, it puts everything where a Debian system expects it and runs lilo.
