My notes and thoughts.... given that I've copmiled/installed many a linux kernel.... and other software.
Not knowing what you had in mind for the directions you gave I followed them (in order) to the tee. my mistake.... I should learn to read all of the isntructions to see what makes sense and what was probably left out due to assumptions that everyone following these instructions will make (nearly) every assumption the person who wrote them did.
1) What to do with the kernel you ran "make config" and "make dep" on. Do you "make install" (bzlilo/bzdisk/etc) it and reboot? do you make/install modules? does it matter??? I also have noticed that the newer kernels are harder to compile w/o knowing what config items require which other config items just to get the thing to compile. Are there any config items required just for this topic... any that should be left out? (i got my kernal to copmile but the modules didn't work out so grand)
2) the PCMCIA-CS part ignored the kernel I only ran "make config" and "make dep" on when I restarted pcmcia stating that I wasmissing serveral modules in the runnig kernel. I assume this meant I needed (in "1)" to do all of kernel compile steps. Reading ahead showed no further kernel patch/compile/install steps exposed the need to go back and finish the kernal compile steps.
3) I didn't get past step 2 due to errors compiling the kernel modules.
otherwise I thought they were great
