Re: compiling a 2.4 kernel

[thing@thing.dyndns.org]

Hi,

I need some help.......

I can compile a bootable 2.4.27-4 kernel from debian packaged source, but
I cannot compile a bootable kernel using kernel.org source. I have tried
2.4.27, 28, 29, 30 and 36 none will boot with the megaraid module
(*)'d...however the debian packaged kernel 2.4.27-4 will boot happily with
the megaraid module (*)'d but not (M)'d.

So what would make the debian sourced source OK but the stock kernel not?
In the stock 2.4.27 I cannot see any changes in the changlog for the
megaraid module, I have to go back to 2.4.25....to see a megaraid driver
update....

regards

Steven
