First. Thanks for your detailed instructions. Some of it is still a foreign language
to me.
The following command which I got from another list shows this..
find . -type f -exec grep CONFIG_EDD {} \; -print
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-7mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-15mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-16mdk
uname -r
2.6.3-16mdk
I am running the last kernel. Then I suppose they must be wrong??
But it is not the kernel 2.6.5 or later as suggested. Should that make a difference??
Thanks
