Thanks to Luc Lefevre, I have been able to read my kernel configuration file and find that everything is set as I programmed it.
However, I still cannot get of ide and substitute scsi. It was suggested that I had to install the modules. So, I went to "Linux Kernel Modules Installation HOWTO" to find out how to install them. In typical linux fashion the instructions don't work. The problem is in the following instructions: cd /etc/rc.d chmod 755 init.d/* cd rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/modules.init 05modules.init The third line is obviously suspicious. I tried with cd /rc3.d and was told that it didn't exist. I then tried /etc/rc3.d , but it did not work either. I suspect because of the leading .. . I am beginning to wonder how anybody ever got CD writing to work. I had to upgrade my kernel in order to get my usb printer to work. Therefore going back to the kernel supplied with the official distribution is not an option. I must have printing; I can do most of my CD burning with Windows if I must. --- Luc Lefebvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > The config file (or should I say .config) lives in > /usr/src/linux/.config and is copied to /boot as > config-kernel-version for Debian distros (I believ). > It is a simple text file and can be viewed with > your favorite editor. > > cheers > > On Wed, 15 Oct 2003 13:25:39 -0700 (PDT) > Sidney Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I must confess that I am still confused although > the > > messages here are helping. > > > > When I look at my installed Debian packages, I > have: > > kernel-image-2 Custom.2 (the last one that I > made). > > > > The only things that I have in /etc/modules are: > > af_packet > > sr_mod > > > > If I knew how you printed out "make config" below, > I > > might learn something.
