I have compiled a "customized" 2.0.33 kernel for myself, after checking the HOW-TOs and following threads in this list. I now have a 300k kernel that boots without a problem and works fine, as far as I can tell. Except...
Issue 1:
At boot time, dmesg shows nothing amiss. However, when I start pppd (compiled into the kernel), the message "localhost syslog: IPX support is not present in the kernel". OK, I _know_ that, I do not use Netware, am not on Ethernet, and so I excluded IPX from the kernel. I commented out the IPX lines from /etc/services, but no joy.
What should I do to eliminate the message, or should I bother about it?
Ignore it. Or "fix" ifconfig.
Issue 2:
I haven't upgraded the kernel, only recompiled it. My previous modules seem to work OK. Need I do a 'make modules_install' or am I headed for trouble if I don't?
No, you can leave them alone. There's only one thing to look for: If you enable module versioning (setting CONFIG_MODVERSIONS), you need to recompile the modules, as our precompiled kernels default to CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set to off.
