I don't use the debian default kernel, but I'd be surprised if it shipped missing such a commonly used modul (if it does, someone should file a bug). > i don't have the kernel-source package, uname -r gives 2.4.18-bf2.4 and > when i do apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18-bf2.4 it can't find a > matching package (from unstable or stable sources). That was just that particular custom-compiled version for bf2.4 installer that got that version number. If you're trying to match with the kernel the installer gave you, go with kernel-source-2.4.18, you can get the settings from /boot/.config-<kvers>. But if you're going to be recompiling, why not just go with kernel-source-2.4.20 and catch up a little? The config will load there, too...just tweak it to get what you need out of scsi emulation in make xconfig or make menuconfig. Should you decide to compile your own, you should also get kernel-package and check out the documentation in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package on how to recompile, it's *really* simple and supplies you with your own custom kernel-image package for a nice, smooth upgrade. > sorry, i'm a pretty much a noob to debian, i've recently switched > from the easiness of redhat. Umm, "Easiness of Red Hat" is more of an oxymoron than "Windows stability." If it wasn't an oxymoron, then Debian wouldn't be the most popular distro in the server room and on the desktop. (Hint to Red Hat: RPM sucks, ditch it!) -- .''`. Baloo <baloo@ursine.dyndns.org> : :' : proud Debian admin and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than to fix a system
