fyi, this doesn't do much good unless you have a sound card that works with |
19 |
als. |

As I alluded to earlier, it isn't a really good idea to overwrite the |
36 |
working kernel. Fortunately I saved the old kernel and modules. The only |
37 |
change I made was to add the esssolo1 module, but the new kernel came up |
38 |
with modules problems and no working eth0. |
39 |
|

I think I'll try standard kernel build procedures from the |
41 |
/tmp/portage/linux-2.4.4.5/work/linux directory with all your patches |
42 |
applied. |
