I'm still reading every fine manual I can but can you tell me how I identify the kernel? Are you talking about executable or source? I actually D/L'd the entired source last night but I'm not sure if I installed it correctly. apt-get install left me with a tar.bz2 and I 'm not sure I unpacked in the right folder.
The latest version seems to have problems when you try to compileagainst a different kernel version than the one you're running.
I was trying not to do that but I couldn't find header files which seemed to be the exact same version as the kernel that I had installed. I did my install from official CD's but I don't remember every step. There are supposed to be fout flavors of 2.2.19pre17: vanilla, compact, idepci and udma66. I only found headers for compact and idepci.
I had
to reboot with the new kernel before the build succeeded.
Thanks, Paul
