This script won't really help, because make xconfig never finishes.
Here it is:
[root@childm linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.15/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
drivers/char/Config.in: 124: can't handle dep_tristate condition
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.15/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
The error seems to be on the 8th line of my snippet, how do I get past
"drivers/char/Config.in: 124: can't handle dep_tristate condition"??
Also, checking dmesg doesn't help- the "can't find module foo" isn't
listed. Any other suggestions?
