I had tried compiling the 2.3.x stuff to try out USB. Somewhere around 2.3.9, the kernel quit booting for me. I'm sorry, I don't remember what all configuration options I had selected. My strategy was to take the default on most everything, turn off what I obviously didn't need, and modularize as much as I could. After LILO, it would say it was loading and uncompressing the kernel but never get any further. This was with a plain-jane redhat 6.0 system. I tried several later kernels with the same result.
I then resorted to reading the stuff in Documentation (go figure :) ). So, now I have upgraded to: insmod-2.3.6 egcs-2.91.66 GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.23) /lib/libc-2.1.1.so /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5.3.12 ldd (GNU libc) 2.1.1 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 procps version 2.0.2 procinfo version 17 (1999-05-16) psmisc version 18 net-tools 1.51 (GNU sh-utils) 1.16 Linux automount version 3.1.1
Kernel 2.3.23 compiles and installs fine. It boots up and runs appearantly OK. After a while though it will hang. I am almost always in X at the time. I don't have very much in my kernel (I was trying to keep it simple so that I could get it to run). My hardware is:
SOYO 5EHM Super Socket 7 motherboard 128MB PC100 RAM IDE with only one 3.2G disk Matrox Mill g200 AGP video 3x59x ethernet
I have USB, but am not currently loading the modules. I will try 2.3.24 as soon as I can d/l it. -- (__) Doug Alcorn oo / doug@lathi.net |_/ "If you don't have the source, it's not software"
