Hey Simon,
This is what I did:
cd to /usr/src/2.4.19-xx
make mrproper (didn't bother saving .config since I
hadn't put anything in it yet.)
edit makefile changing extraversion to 'mikescustom'
delete /lib/modules/2.4.19-xx (as instructed to if you're not patching
your kernel)
make menuconfig (load /boot/config)
make dep
make clean bzImage modules
make modules_install install
I'm think that since I'm changing the extraversion entry in the makefile
that it should create a new modules directory under /lib/modules and that
I may not have to delete the old one - at least then I should be able to
do the work around, which is 'modprobe loop'. I tried restarting service
devfsd last night, but there was no rescuing from where I was at, so I
reloaded mdk 9.0 and I'm planning to try rebuilding again today. Any
thoughts on that plan of action? I would love any suggestions.
Thanks, Mike
