I think we're not communicating then. The file I sent you was |
24 |
/usr/src/linux.config in the VM. It's not a file that VB would run, |
25 |
but rather a kernel config you might use to build a kernel to make |
26 |
your VM boot. That of course assumes that the hardware model you built |
27 |
in VB matches mine. I renamed the file thinking you'd want to keep it |
28 |
referenced to me. you'd need to name it back to .config, put it in |
29 |
your /usr/src/linux, possibly run make oldconfig, and then check the |
30 |
file. If all that worked out you'd build the kernel as normal. |
31 |
|
32 |
If you want a specific VB file from my install let me know exactly |
33 |
which one and I can forward a copy of that. |
