Hello all.
I sent a message a week or so ago asking for assistance. Thank you to all
who gave advise, and to those who considered it. I did try all the angles
advised, but still there is a problem. I then tried following the Red Hat
RH300 training manual, but still no success.
I am attempting to build a kernel without PCMCIA support so I can then build
one with PCMCIA support, using the latest standalone pcmcia-cs-3.2.1
package. This is on an old Acer Extensa 367T laptop (200 Mhz Pentium MMX
processor).
These are the steps I followed, but I stopped at the point where I saw
problems, as I know this is a lengthy process, and no use persuing if I
can't confirm that the steps where successful.
# rpm -q glibc-kernheaders
dev86
make
glibc-devel
cpp
ncurses-devel
binutils
gcc
kernel-source
all above packages were verified as being installed.
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
# vi Makefile
change line EXTRAVERSION=-3custom
to EXTRAVERSION=-noPCMCIA
# make mrproper
# cp -p configs/kernel-2.4.18-i386.config .config
# make oldconfig
( I ignored the suggestion to 'make dep' for now as advised in the manual )
# make config
I said no to: network support
hotplug support
telephony support
IrDA support
I2O support
ISDN support
IEEE support
SCSI support
I noticed I wasn't asked about PCMCIA support in the .config was commented
out and I wasn't asked about it during the make config step, this is most
probably because of all the previous attempts which I said no to PCMCIA
support.
#make dep bzImage 2>errors
after this step I read the errors file and saw at the end:
make[2]: *** [socket.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make: *** [_dir_net] Error 2
As advised in the manual, I checked
# ls -l System.map (no such file there)
# ls -l arch/i386/boot/bzImage (no such file there either)
This is where I stopped. Please could you advise me.
Thanks,
Trevor.
