Hi Nope.. In 7.1 there is 2.4.2 kernel... I did download 2.4.0 kernel from kernel.org, but I'm not able to make it. In the end when I do make bzImage it fails. Compiling is okay, but the few last lines when it whould actually put the image together it fails... there was something like "bbootsector" involved in that error. I've tried now the whole day to compile it, but I'm not able to.. So, I'm stuck with kernel 2.2.18, that works except my nice USB-mouse is not working :-( And actually to make the Abit-KT7 raid to work, You need to build the initrd-image too! That is not hard to do.. Jaska. Viestissä Perjantai 24. Elokuuta 2001 15:14, kirjoitit:

I went that road yesturday, and now in boot I get:
"could not mount root file system 08:03" or similar...
Actually there is few lines up a message: "unable to excecute /sbin/modprobe char-major-8" or similar...
Ofcourse it cant excecute modprobe (or was it insmod), because sda3 is not yet mounted.. And in order to mount it, it need to load the module that is in sda3...
Does anyone have a solution to that?.. I think I need to start playing around with initrd, perhaps do my own that includes the module?
Jaska.

Hi everybody! I'm a SuSE 7.0 user, I've just donwloaded new drivers for my HPT370 RAID controller intended for SuSE 7.1; these are provided only in precompiled modules for kernels 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-4GB. So I need to download the 2.4.0-4GB kernel but I can't find it on SuSE ftp site (lx_sus24.rpm in 7.1 directory provides kernel 2.4.2).
Please, help me!
Are the 2.4.0 sources you require on the original 7.1 CDs?
