Now I've been trying to compile 2.2.17; I get the same three errors during bootup. Anyway, attached is my .config file. If I modify the conf.modules file, then I get "conf.modules file is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep" error messages. If I try to run alsa.conf, it says that there is no sound card installed???
I don't remember the problems you were having but
type depmod -A that should fix that one.
looking at your .config I don't see devpts.
CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS=y
That should be some place in the FS section.
I'm having my own problems getting Alsa to compile so I'll leave that to somebody else-)

Here's my original post, which contains a list of the problems I am having: 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. Thank you, Jerry VB Only difference is that now I am using kernel 2.2.17, with the same error messages. No, I didn't do a depmod -a ; I didn't know about that. That's what I like about this list, you ask, you learn, thank you. Now, I looked and looked and I didn't see anything in xconfig about devpts, does this mean device ports? Where in the xconfig setup is it selected?? Thanks, Jerry
