hey joris, here's the first three steps i recommend: # apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.20 # apt-get install kernel-package $ cd /usr/share/doc/kernel-package (if you're running woody, you want kernel-source-2.4.18 i believe) debian really treats you well with kernel-compiling utilities and documentation. search back in this mailing list for make-kpkg, there've been several howto's (and good kernel newbie doc links) posted... good luck sean On Tue, Apr 01, 2003 at 11:35:10PM -0800, Joris Huizer wrote: > Hello everybody, > > As I want scsi emulation, and I'm missing the sr_mod > module, I think I'll have to compile a new kernel. > > What do I need to do for this, exactly?
