Hello, I am currently using Debian 2.0 with kernel 2.0.34. I downloaded the patch files and patched the kernel source to 2.0.36. No problems encountered during the patching. Even appled the debian patch.
Then I used make menuconfig and set up all the options that I needed including kerneld support. Sound was included as a module along with serial, ne, isofs, vfat. Used "make-kpkg --zimage kernel_image" to compile the kernel. Kernel compilation was smooth and I had the kernel_image.deb ready for installation. I installed it and ran lilo. Before rebooting, I edited the /etc/modules file and commented out the loading of modules and put auto there. After boot up I am having a couple of problems: 1. kerneld gets started and is not able to load modules like ne. Doing it manually with modprobe works. Should not kerneld do it automatically? Have I misunderstood the writeup on it? 2. When make-kpkg created a kernel_image.deb, I found that not all the modules I had set were there. For example, for sound I had put in as modules opl3, mad16, midi, etc. All of those files are there in the source tree, but do not come in the modules directory after compilation. Anything else that needs to be setup to get them there? 3. Even though there is a sound.o file in /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc, "modprobe sound" says "can't locate module sound". What is wrong? sridhar ******************************************** Sridhar M. A.
