If you get an error such as that, it means you need to include it as either a module, or compile it into the kernel. It's not a problem with the doc, just a misconfiguration at config time. HTH, --Dan On 10/8/07, Jay Shah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I did try that link, but when I attemp

This should help out quite a bit, I just dug it up: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos It shows you how to create a kernel for centos, starting with vanilla (official kernel.org) sources. You can patch that tree before compiling. HTH, Dan On 10/8/07, Jay Shah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

He's looking for a more "official" way to compile it, like, against RHEL5/CentOS5 sources and probably even put it into an RPM so the system will handle it correctly. I don't know how to do this myself since with CentOS/RHEL I've always just let the system handle the kernel. (one of the reasons I

Hi, I'm centralizing my image(s) to an NFS share currently to save space on my 3 UML hosts. This is the first time I've used NFS as a partition to store backing files. The issue I'm running into is I can start one UML instance, but the second UML instance can't get a lock on the backing file. (I'm

No process inside UML would continue to run, not even bash, yes; if you talk about the xterm you see, that is a process running on the host, so it should keep running (and updating the displayed images). Great, that did the trick! Thanks alot, much appreciated. --Dan Lund --- T
