I went to www.netraverse.com and found out that the newest patch for
Win4Lin for SMP kernels is 2.6.11. I have to tell you that no kernel
I've ever built myself (as in without genkernel) has booted. I
downloaded 2.6.11 kernel source from www.kernel.org , and it seems to
have built correctly. I followed the following steps:
cd /usr/src
tar xvfj /home/michael/linux-2.6.11.12.tar.bz2
rm linux; ln -s linux-2.6.11.12 linux
cd linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make bzImage
make modules
I didn't apply the patch because I wanted to see if I could get the
vanilla kernel to work before altering it. Everything seemed to build
correctly. As I've had many many problems with trying to boot kernels
without an initrd (on top of the fact that no manually-built kernel has
worked), I emerged mkinitrd. WWhen I tried to use it, it gave me an
error saying that /lib/modules/linux-2.6.11.12 is not a directory. An
ls showed me that it didn't exist in any form. My question is where are
the modules that were built? Can I just move the modules over (once I
find them), or do I need to create some type of subdirectory structure?
