There were a few hurdles but IIRC 1: Identify the card you have (SM200D *is different* from SM200DTP!!!!!! Get the model FROM THE BOX) and get the right drivers from the Skymedia site. I couldn't get the Ihug ones to work.
2: You won't be able to use any out of the box kernels from Redhat you will need to compile your own. I have 2.2.18 going. As far as I know 2.4.x won't work. I saw some code that an Ihug minion had done to get it to work on a 2.4 kernel but after some shagging around with it it started to get way to complicated. 3: When you compile the kernel make sure you have the new kernel source directories added to your ld.conf file (it's embarassing how long it took me to cotton on to this :-) ) Once you have that kernel going and the ld.conf stuff done the installation program from Skymedia and compilation thingy will hopefully work. I'm sure I've missed stuff but the list above is the stuff I remeber as being the most traumatic :-) Chris Bayley wrote: > > A mission on linux huh ? > I've had is six months and despite dozens of hours with help desk it's still > not running right on windows! > > Anyhow, I'm a sucker for punishment - I'm gonna move it over to linux - any > hints you have will be appreciated... > > Kind Regards, > Chris Bayley > > > -----Original Message----- > -- Zane Gilmore, Analyst / Programmer Information Services Section, Information Technology Dept, University of Canterbury Private Bag 4800 Christchurch New Zealand phone +64-3-364 2987 extn 7895 Fax 3642222
