Hello SuSErs,
I'm trying to learn how to compile my own kernel. I currently have a stock 6.4 installed. I am trying to compile kernel linux-2.2.16.SuSE-21. I can get it to boot up, but every time it boots I get three types of error messages: 1) something about it can't find char-major-4;
Check /etc/conf.modules Char-major-4 is serial. You chose builtin instead of module. No real problem. If you want it that way just comment out the line in conf.modules
2) devpts on /dev/pts failed; and
You likely failed to select devpts. Go back and select it and recompile. FS section I think.
3) can't locate module snd-card-sb16.
Likely the same sort of thing.
Can anybody help, I'd like to learn how to sucessfully compile kernels.
Your only problem is you missed a couple of options. Nothing serious. Just go back and select the ones you missed. After you've done it a few times it becomes second nature.
