Re: [newbie] kernel configuration
linux is just a symbolic link that should point to the most current installed kernel. This makes more sense if you imagine yourself having multiple kernels installed (testing? Maybe different kernels for different purposes?) On Saturday 12 October 2002 12:44 pm, Noah Hicks wrote: Thanks a lot. That clears things up. On more question if anyone cares do discuss.

I'm trying to recompile my kernel for my zip100 parallel port drive. When I get

I used 'make config' to configure the kernel ('make xconfig' also got me an
error and didn't start, so I just tried the 'make config' which ran fine). I
followed the directions from the HOW-TO (as well as the instructions found in
the book Linux: Installation, Configuration, Use) exactly. Nevertheless, I got
this error.
Here's what I did in 'make config': I simply hit Enter at every option, except
where I wanted to make changes (SCSI support Y, SCSI disk support Y...). Then I
did 'make dep' and 'make clean'. Then...the error when I did 'make bzImage' (I
also tried 'make zImage', but it got me the same error).
After it didn't work the first time, I made a couple of other changes to the
configuration. I DON'T have a pentium machine. It is AMD K6II. So, I entered the
K6 info into the line that gave me the option for 386, 486, 586, pentium, K6...
(My thought was, maybe this change would get rid of at least the pentium-related
invalid options, but the error is exactly the same every time).
I don't know if there is a problem with my kernel sources, with gcc, with the
settings I'm entering, or if I'm just too stupid to be doing this!
Any of y'all have a clue what this error means and how I can fix it? Thanks so
much for your help!

I'm no help on the compile problem. But do you need to recompile the
kernel for your zip drive? I thought you just loaded the ppo module for
parallel port zip?
Audrey, Thanks for the thought...no dice. My problem is when I originally
installed I didn't configure for scsi support at all, and I don't think I set up
printer support as a module - both of these are pre-conditions from what I
understand. Bummer. Anyone else out there with a clue?? Lance

I thought you just loaded the ppo module for parallel port zip? Audrey, I just sent a response to this comment a little while ago, then wandered off to play with my kids. I came back and couldn't resist trying "just one more time" to see if you weren't right after all. "If it is that easy, why does it look so complicated in the books?? Why don't they just say, try..., if it could possibly be so simple?" Wouldn't you know? It is! The mini how-to says to mount .../zip, but left out the /mnt. Although I thought, "hey, shouldn't there be a /mnt there?" I just did what it said...nothing. This time I said, "Why not?" and put it in. Less than a second later it's working! SO, THANKS AND PRAISES!! That was "the last step" for me - my Linux system is now up and running 100%! I'm pretty excited and the wife thinks I'm pretty strange! Lance
