Re: Green linux user needs help building kernel
Tom,
You need to grab the kernel-source-x.x.x package. Next, refer to
the nicely done doc.s from
http://www.ourmanpann.com/linux/kernel.html
Good luck!

I am booting from a floppy and the root directory is on a Jaz disk (2GB), during boot the SCSI card and all of my SCSI devices are detected but the only drivers that are loaded are for my IBM hard disk (also SCSI) and my Jaz drive. I get an I/O error when I try to write to the CDRom (as a test). The documentation i have states that the problem is with the device files but i believe it is due to the SCSI CDRom's not being enabled using the "make config" command. I am not even able to run "make config" since the source code isn't where it should be!!! i am very new to linux/unix commands so please give me "blow by blow" details on how to correct this if possible. Could the source code be on my boot floppy? If so, I'm not even sure how to switch directories to point any ny other drive.
