To be honest, I am certain I don't have the System.map copied over correctly.
Here's what I did after the last compile run: cp /linux-2.4.20/System.map
/boot/System.map-2.4.20. That's probably not the right thing to do, but it's
what I tried. I am way new at all this, so I do appreciate your patience with
me.
no worries..we'll be patient.. (like a kid in a candy store :>) copy
your system.map-2.4.20 to System.map and that should fix you.
1) Are you sure you coppied the right System.map into /boot? You are
still getting errors about that
I checked the modules.conf file, and found no reference there to 'char major
81' As well, I did NOT select video for linux when running make menuconfig.
Right.. thats the problem. for some reason he's trying to locate that
module or alias.... you need to add an alias in modules.conf for char
major 81 that says videodev
2) char major 81 is for /dev/video and a couple other things.. check
devices.txt in the Doc's.. it has nothing to do with anything other than
an alias in modules.conf.. assuming you have no video devices.
How do I modprobe my SCSI host adapter? I don't even know what the adapter is
called, let alone how to probe it.
what type of hardware is it? modprobe <module_name> is how you would
load the module. The module is the device driver for the hardware.. so,
you need to know what kind of hardware you have before you probe..
3) What happens if you modprobe your SCSI host adapter from the command
line. What are the errors?
Thank you for any help you can give this struggling newbie.
sure... no problem..
