Pristine 2.2.19 kernel compile
Well, it works! I got the Pristine 2.2.19 kernel from kernel.org to compile,
and modules, and everthing! Of course, it's not all good: the tdfx module has
symbol problems, even though it's present in the config and seems to compile
and be installed in /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/tdfx.o...which is naturally
important because I've got a Voodoo3 card, so, no X with this kernel.
I then attempted the 2.2.19 kernel from debian via apt-get, but no dice
there, either. Should there be more instructions listed about what to do once
I apt-get install 2.2.19? I remember seeing something about build
instructions, but I'm curious on two fronts: first, I want to know what I
need to do to build a working kernel (that I can use to run X with my Voodoo3
;-) from the debian sources. Actually, I was able to compile the kernel and
boot from it, but I get tons of "unresolved symbol" errors...Second, I'm
curious because if there are special instructions, there should be a dialog
of some kind explaining what they are when the kernel-sources are installed.
Thanks for any input and help.
