Hello SuSErs, I'm trying to learn how to compile my own kernel. I currently have a stock 6.4 installed. I am trying to compile kernel linux-2.2.16.SuSE-21. I can get it to boot up, but every time it boots I get three types of error messages: 1) something about it can't find char-major-4; 2) devpts on /dev/pts failed; and 3) can't locate module snd-card-sb16. All of these messages fly past so fast I may not have them down exact, and the error messages are not in dmesg. When I look in the /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc folder, there are no snd-card modules like there are in the /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc folder. That seems strange to me. My sound card is a ISA PNP Soundblaster 16. I'm using it in the non-ISA mode, for NT on my system. Can anybody help, I'd like to learn how to sucessfully compile kernels.

Check /etc/conf.modules Char-major-4 is serial. You chose builtin instead of module. No real problem. If you want it that way just comment out the line in conf.modules
2) devpts on /dev/pts failed; and
You likely failed to select devpts. Go back and select it and recompile. FS section I think.
3) can't locate module snd-card-sb16.
Likely the same sort of thing.

Your only problem is you missed a couple of options. Nothing serious. Just go back and select the ones you missed. After you've done it a few times it becomes second nature.

Well guys, I am totally frustrated. it doesn't matter what I try, I get the same errors every time. I know I selected devpts and my sound card as a module. It's just not creating the modules correctly, don't know why. Here's my procedure: 1. make mrproper 2. make menuconfig 3. make dep 4. make clean 5. make bzImage 6. make modules 7. make modules_install 8. copy bzImage to /boot 9. run lilo using YAST(so I can out it on a floppy) 10. reboot What am I doing wrong? Frustrated, Jerry Nick, sorry for sending this directly to you, didn't mean to.
