Dear all,
I compiled the kernel 2.4.2 just fine, put it under the path where loadlin takes it from and booted the system... almost correctly.
The first error message is:
"Cannot find map file."
I did a search on SuSE's website and only found this: http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/keylist.SYSTEMMAP.html
Secondly, although the kernel is compiled with FAT (and other filesystems) support, it complains when I issue a command like this:
/root# mount -a mount: /dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number mount: /dev/hda5 has wrong major or minor number mount: /dev/hdc1 has wrong major or minor number
These errors don't involve file systems. They say that there's something wrong with your installation. What do you get if you do ls -l /dev/hda1? You should get something like brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 May 21 14:21 /dev/hda1 The 3 is the major number, and the 1 is the minor. If you get something else, do, as root, rm /dev/hda1 followed by mknod /dev/hda1 b 3 1 hda5 is major 3, minor 5 and hdc1 is major 22 minor 1
Third, there is (or at least should be) PPP support on the kernel but pppd thinks the opossite :-(
Any ideas about what am I overseeing? Later on I'll post about the USB support and my webcam if I manage to solve all the errors listed here... :-)
Thanx,
Martin
