Bah, you most certainly do *not* need to rebuild. i don't have the kernel-source package, uname -r gives 2.4.18-bf2.4 and when i do apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18-bf2.4 it can't find a matching package (from unstable or stable sources). i have kernel-headers for my kernel, but can you give me precise directions on how to do this? sorry, i'm a pretty much a noob to debian, i've recently switched from the easiness of redhat. You don't need to go through any sort of recompile at all. In the last chapter or so of the Debian Installation Manual, it tells you about kernels, and specifically mentions that the install one is, er, an install one. $ apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-cpu Where cpu is 386, k7, whatever. Carefully follow the instructions, and reboot and be happy; that image has modules for nearly every piece of hardware that the Linux kernel supports it. Use modconf and /etc/modules to taste, and enjoy! -- Rob Weir [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://ertius.org/ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: crazy problems
thanks, that worked out well. xcdroast is working fine, which was the point of it all. -garrett On Sat, 2003-02-22 at 12:20, Hugo Portela wrote: Garrett P.

Select ide-scsi option in the source tree with make menuconfig, then make modules and make modules_install. Might need to add ide-scsi to /etc/modules too. Before you try that, you might want to modprobe ide-scsi. I don't use the debian default kernel, but I'd be surprised if it shipped missing such a commonly used modul (if it does, someone should file a bug). i don't have the kernel-source package, uname -r gives 2.4.18-bf2.4 and when i do apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18-bf2.4 it can't find a matching package (from unstable or stable sources). That was just that particular custom-compiled version for bf2.4 installer that got that version number. If you're trying to match with the kernel the installer gave you, go with kernel-source-2.4.18, you can get the settings from /boot/.config-kvers. But if you're going to be recompiling, why not just go with kernel-source-2.4.20 and catch up a little? The config will load there, too...just tweak it to get what you need out of scsi emulation in make xconfig or make menuconfig. Should you decide to compile your own, you should also get kernel-package and check out the documentation in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package on how to recompile, it's *really* simple and supplies you with your own custom kernel-image package for a nice, smooth upgrade. sorry, i'm a pretty much a noob to debian, i've recently switched from the easiness of redhat. Umm, Easiness of Red Hat is more of an oxymoron than Windows stability. If it wasn't an oxymoron, then Debian wouldn't be the most popular distro in the server room and on the desktop.
