- Hi...
-
- Two potentially simple questions...
-
- 1. If I want to make the kernel I recompile the kernel for
- installing it onto a new system, how do I do that? I'm presuming that
- it is either disk a1 or a2 of the SLS dist, right? Or is it something
- I cannot do?
-
- 2. A long one...
-
- What are the settings for the default SLS distribution kernel?
- I just recompiled mine and tried to boot up with it...but it told me
- that it could not read Superblock for MINIX-fs, EXT-fs or MSDOS, then
- told me it could not mount root. Those were the only three fs I compiled
- into it...should I have compiled the /proc one too?
-
- On top of that...the kernel that I compiled into was almost 100k
- less then the original. Would it hurt anything if I compiled in all the
- fs's as well as the SCSI support? (I know that I'm going to be getting a
- SCSI Adaptec 1542 controller eventually)
-
- Thanks...
-
- Marc
-
- P.S. It pays to read the fine print...I didn't mess up my original
- boot up diskette...I used a fresh diskette :)
