Hi, all! I downloaded a 2.6.5 kernel from the ftp://ftp.kernel.org, and install the module-init-tools. Then I compiled a new kernel and started up, but when I use "top" command, I found only one cpu. When I comiled the pvfs.ko, pvfs could be mounted, but couldn't read or write. When I download the kernel-2.6.4-52-source.rpm of suse9.1 from ftp.suse.com. I find that it needs so many dependencies. After "rpm -i kernel-source-2.6.4-52.src.rpm" and "rpm -bb kernel-source-2.6.4-52.spec --nodeps" and rpm -i the kernel rpm, I can compile the 2.6kernel. I compile the MPT driver into kernel, it can not started up. I try to install the coreutils rpm package etc from ftp.suse.com, but it needs many other packages.

Is this way going well? A new guy waiting for your answers.

The simple and recommended way to run 2.6 is to update to suse 9.1 -Andi
