For whoever interested in compiling the new kernel, so far this is what I;ve
done, and works almost perfectly.
1) make a /sys folder, enter this in fstab:
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
2) apt-get instal modules-init-tools
3) Copy .config file from the previous kernel (mine is 2.4.21)... although I
am not 100% sure this is needed.
4) make menuconfig (deselect the many many modules that won't compile; my
previous kernel was based on a Knoppix install, with all sorts of modules
that I don't really need), make (no need to do make bzImage or make dep) and
make modules_install
5) Change grub/lilo
6) boot... shit, black screen, no kernel messages... oh well here is the x
server ... SHIT!!, no keyboard nor mouse (in my case is actually a touchpad).
7) Add this to the .configure file...
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_3DFX=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
8) make, make modules_install
9) Change grub/lilo
10) boot... shit, still black screen on bootup, no kernel messages nor
penguin... here it comes X... OK, now keyboard and touchpad work.... yeah.
So, if anybody can tell me how to fix the framebuffer so I can see thge little
penguin and the kernel messages, I'll appreciate it.
