Hans-Peter:
I followed your howto, first I did the /sbin/modprobe mkiss
and got " can't locate module mkiss"
I followed through on section 3.2 and got the same thing reported
I am running RH 6.1 out of the Deluxe box, with the power tools
RPM disk.
I ran make menuconfig it came up without the error message, I
went through and selected the proper parts (I hope) both in the
regular kernel needs and the amateur radio needs.
followed the 3.1 section and still when I do the modprobe I get
the " can't locate module mkiss".
Also it looks like when I rebooted I am still running the old kernel
I did a uname -srv on it and get a kernel dated from sept 99 (original
install) it looks like the new kernel did not get installed.
