[TriLUG] HELP!

[Vestal, Roy L.]

OOPS! The first line should be It does sound like something in your kernel
build. Sorry for the confusion.

It doesn't like something in your kernel build. Here's a suggestion. Create
a test kernel with the RedHat generic .config. You can find these in
/usr/src/somewhere-I-don't-remember. I believe they are in the linux-2.4.10
directory. Use the .config that best meets your kernel. Understand that this
.config will pretty much build EVERYTHING (or darn near close). Tar up your
current /usr/src/linux-ver.#.# and unpack a "fresh" one, create the new
kernel with a different extension (I use -test myself). Try booting the
generic and see what breaks/works. I then compare the 2 .configs and try to
find that one little difference.

Folks, If you know the answer to Andy's delimma, please speak up. I'm still
somewhat new, and the only way I found the fix for the error he's having is
the above. I would love a better alternative myself.
