Hello
I need a little help. I am trying to buils a custom kernel that will support
my soundblaster awe32 card. I am following the instructions in the handbook
(I am a determined newbie). I am building the traditional way (as the new
way (procedure 2) doesn't work for me.
1. I first run /usr/sbin/config/MMKERNEL -No apparrent problems.
2. cd ../../compile/MMKERNEL -I verivy that everything is there -seems to be
3. make depend -lots of text flying by, then at the end the following:
***snip***
- /usr/src/sys
machine - /usr/src/sys/i386/include
make: don't know how to make iconv.h. Stop
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sys/compile/MMKERNEL.
Then of course, make gives me a stop too, and finally
make install doesn't find a kernel to install.
I have included my lightly customized kerne. The lines that I customized
were 22, 24, 256-260.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
Stephen
ps. for the life of me, I can not mount the floppy drive. I am trying with
a shortcut with KDE3, with no luck. The command line attempt looked like
this: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
What am I doing wrong?
