OK, using dist Mandrake 8.2 kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk.i586 (from the rpm on dist cd)
AND Athlon thunderbird cpu, ASUS VIA/PROMISE motherboard (2 built-in usb, serial, agp,
pci cards, p/s2 mouse, no ISA slots) agp voodoo3 videocard, dlink usb card (bought
seperate.. going to remove since it's worth about as much as a good stomach pump)
Avance Logic ALS4000 soundcard (needs alsa driver) CNET Ethernet card (driver is
either tulip or dmfe. disk with card has dmfe so i'm not sure if it's using tulip for
eth0 or usb but it's used for something...) canon bjc parallell printer (but not used
often so usually not installed)
steps taken:
1)take current kernel tree (/usr/srs/linux) rename it so it doesn't get overwritten.
(changed to /usr/src/lin)
2)urpmi the kernel-source.
3)coompile: first: make xconfig.
using docs from all my hardware and howtos on linux (kernel, sound,
HOWTO, etc) enable support / modules keeping undeeded drivers
out.
4)make dep.
5) make clean
6) make bzImage
7)make modules
8)make modules install.
9)copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/... to /boot (haven't used make bzlilo yet..
does it work? work better?)
10) lilo conf.
HISTORY: I've gotten the kernel sucessfully compiled (albeit incorrectly) once but
messed up the lilo and hosed a good part of my HD.. reinstalled. Took a few weeks off
to learn lilo specific info. (the first thing you do with your new penguin is think
you can just walk right in and rebuild the kernel? oh. ok. lol)
hope that helps.
