I found out that the .config located in usr/src/linux as it comes from a fresh install
of Slackware is NOT the same .config that would be used to build the kernel that is
actually installed. So for the moment forget my problems in recompiling the kernel to
include atm support etc.
As soon as I get a meaningful .config, if I still have problems in recompiling the
kernel and/or install Speedtouch, I will come back.
However, there are still a couple of things that I need to know.
1) It is quite annoying that I can do "make dep", "make clean", "make bzImage" and
"make modules" without getting any error, and then when I do "make modules_install",
it gives me errors due to dependencies, and the modules installation process gets
interrupted at half, resulting in a total mess and in a shitload of error messages at
successive boots. Isn't there a way to check for dependency problems BEFORE I start
installing the modules??
2) The question that I posted in a previous message remains valid:
""
Then I tried as follows: I made a backup of my .config, I did "make mrproper", then I
restored my .config and I tried to restart from "make dep" etc. But when I did "make
dep" I got the following output and errors:
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c

I may be wrong, but this doesn't seem to be caused by a misconfigured .config. It
seems to me that there's something else missing. After a "make mrproper", is there
something else that needs to be done besides copying a ".config" file into
/usr/src/linux?
3) Did I say "a couple of things"? Well, there is a third one. Suppose that I have a
correctly built and installed kernel running and that I have the ".config"
corresponding to its configuration. Now I change the .config by changing some "not
set" into M and/or some M into "not set" but without adding nor removing any Y. In
this case do I have to rebuild and install the kernel as well, or is it sufficient to
rebuild and install the modules ("make modules" and "make modules_install") without
copying the kernel image to /boot/., the system map, etcetera etcetera?
Let me know if I am going too much OT.
Thank you very much
Bye
