So, have I stepped in the goo on this? should I back up an redo the "make cloneconfig" and try that [without any additional 'diddling'] or is there simply "a problem" with the latest kernel sources "as supplied" by SuSE and I'm stuck unless *I* want to investigate and repair... [yeah, RIGHT!]
If you are going to do a cloneconfig of suse, you need to apply all their patches to the kernel. Otherwise you need to figure out where in the config, the error is coming from and disable the feature. I have a plain kernel going with suse8.1 and I get some error on startup about TGIODEV (or something similar) not found. I think it's some error about the identification number in the keyboard, which is found by hwscan. Anyways, it happens because I didn't apply some patch to the kernel source. You probably will have to skip make cloneconfig, and go thru each config option and read the help, and decide if you need it. Then save your new custom config. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
