| |
I recently installed RHEL WS Update 3 (kernel 2.4.21-20) on my laptop. Out of the box it does not recognize any USB devices, my Synaptics touchpad, my PCMCIA Wireless (NetGear WAG511G) or the proper resolution on my LCD. (NOTE: RH 9 worked perfectly OOTB on this same machine. So far I'm not at all impressed with RHEL WS - any more than I was with RH 7.0.)
I tried to build a new 2.4.21 kernel based upon a configuration from a non-RH kernel (2.4.24) that worked on this machine. Not a single module will compile correctly. I had to remove all modules and compile them into the kernel. I2C code will not compile at all and it had to be completely removed. After this I was able to compile a working kernel, but it boots with errors and the NVIDIA driver will not compile.
I've submitted a service request with Red Hat, but have not yet received a response.
What compiler versions are known to work with this kernel?
Is this a known problem with RHEL?
My next step may be D/L the latest 2.6 stable kernel and try compiling that (but that still leaves the question of which gcc version to use).
TIA,
