Hi, Ok, TEX, hope you have not given up yet. Do the following steps:
1. "cd /usr/src/linux/"
2. "make clean"
3. "make menuconfig"
4. Choose all that you want to compile into the kernel, there is always "help" box when needed. [etc]
There is stuff (e.g. ftape etc) compiled into the kernel that S.u.S.E. installed which doesn't agree with what comes up when you run "menuconfig", nor with what's in "/usr/src/linux-2.0.32/arch/i386/defconfig" (which seems to be the same as the menuconfig stuff). What I'd like to do is a kind of "diff" kernel compilation, e.g. if I want sound then "menuconfig" should come up with the options already operative in my running kernel also set in the menu; then all I have to do is add sound and recompile and I get my old kernel plus sound. I'm concerned about overlooking or leaving out kernel options I need and which are present in the running kernel, if I recompile from scratch (as "menuconfig" seems to want to do). So is there, anywhere, a "S.u.S.E. defconfig" which defines how the S.u.S.E. kernel was compiled?
