I have installed Mandrake on numerous machines without
a hitch. Each install found the hardware right away,
even on my laptops, with the exception of the Kernel
compilation. I am trying to set up a few servers for a
proof of concept project and I need to compile some
features into these kernels and take out all the fluff
I don�t need. The problem is that I have never had
success compiling from Mandrake source and have
everything work. If I use the pristine source or a
source with an AC patch, I can usually get it to
compile but I loose all the special Mandrake
functionality if it boots at all. What is patched in
the Mandrake kernel anyway, besides supermount and
some drivers? Is their a document to explain how to
make the Mandrake kernel source compile and work? I
haven�t figured out what I am missing or doing wrong�
but� And I dread the thought� I might be forced to use
Red Hat just because of this kernel issue. Can anyone
save me from having to use Red Hat. Please fill me in
on the secret to compile Mandrake kernels.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
