I'm using SUSE - 9.1 and i tried to upgrade the kernel from the default one to 2.6.11.10 <http://2.6.11.10>. Kernel compilation went fine, but after booting with new kernel, i'm having problem with accessing dvd/cd drive and floppy drives (both uses subfs filesystems), and the pen drive connected to USB drive (which uses usbfs). Am i missing something here??
Yes, you are missing the subfs module. You should: (1) Install the submount source rpm (2) Do a "rpmbuild -bp <spec_file>" (3) Recompile the module for your kernel located at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/submount-<version>/subfs-<version> Also, if your new kernel is not a SUSE kernel, boot logging won't work. You will need to patch the kernel with the tiocgdev patch. Beware though the patch will fail at the file tty_io.c. That file needs to be patched manually. Not too sure about your usb problem though without more details. Charles -- "World domination. Fast" (By Linus Torvalds)
