That did the trick. I didn't want to recpmile my kernel without some sort of starting point. Everytime I just do it from scratch RH blows up so I didn't want that to happen here. Cheers.

Re: [expert] Kernel Source Tree Version Conflict.
Yeah I had this exact same problem on Redhat 6.0. The problem lies in that if you choose to run the SMP kernel, the header files are still from the non-smp build. The only way I could come up with to fix this was to install the kernel by hand, and build it SMP only. That way my header files, etc, were all for SMP. I can't think of a slick way for either Redhat or Mandrake to fix this... -- Greg Rumple [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, 5 Jun 1999, Sheldon Lee Wen wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone running the 2.2.9-19mdksmp kernel has problems installing > VMWare 1.0?

If you intend to compile your own kernel, you should set the options to match your system, anyway - it'll get rid of drivers you won't ever need, saving diskspace and speeding some things up.

Right, If I knew the options that the kernel and modules were build with, but I cannot find the config file for the smp kernel, and the default values don't work. Sheldon.

Right, because there's only one kernel-source package, and it's as general as possible (no smp, no fb, no special optimizations). > I've already > tried changing the linux/version.h header file to say smp instead > of the stock single cpu. Won't work - cd /usr/src/linux ; make menuconfig will. LLaP bero
