Kernel compilation problem
I just got a new Pentium Pro 200 MHz, and I put Debian linux 1.2 onto it
(had it on my old system and LOVED it! So had to have it again on this
new screamer). Well, I am trying to compile a custom kernel, which I've
done numerous times on my old system, using make-kpkg.
So I go through make config and everything is just fine ... until it comes
to the sound. When it reaches the soundblaster I/O, no matter what I type
in, it reports: "Sorry, no help available for this option yet," and then
just goes right back to the statement. I tried playing around with the
code, to just accept the default, which is correct, rather than prompting
me, and didn't have any luck. I encountered the same problem with the
soundblaster IRQ question (found this out when I completely commented out
the I/O question!).
I tried using menuconfig & xconfig (very slick, this last one!), and I can
complete the setup just fine. But then when I run the make-kpkg program,
and it reaches the soundblaster part described above, it enters an
infinite loop, and keeps on scrolling the I/O question & "Sorry, no
help..." line until I interrupt the compilation.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? It's completely baffling me...
Thank you!
Mike
