Dear All
I finally took the plunge to install debian because my CDwriter has been playing
up (its barely working) anyway, I got debian installed and it seems
quite nice but a little under setup but that may be a strength.
The 2.2.17 kernel I felt could do with an update, so I compiled the 2.4.8
kernel using the SuSe configuration for their 2.2 kernel in their 7.0
distibution.
With this setup I performed my first successful kernel compile, ( I have tried
5 times before but it just takes to long with a P200MMX computer ) I then
realised that I had to compile the modules and install them (with make) which
meant that it must have taken at least 6 hours.
Anyway after all this effort I now have a dewbian system with a 2.4.8 kernal
that boots but still cant find the modules, I rearly need TCP/IP so I can
continue to setup the system unfortunately this is a module.
Anyone with some debian experiance please help
Owen.
PS
insmod /usr/lib/modules/../../sg.o
insmod /usr/lib/modules/../../ide-scsi.o
does apear to load the scsi system and not work properly so I guess the modules
do exist OK
