True, you may have to read between the lines but I do not have any |
| 33 |
modules with the exception of nvidia. I have to have my picture on the |
| 34 |
screen so I can surf the www. LOL |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I attached a copy of my config for you to look at. I have not changed |
| 37 |
the symlink yet because I have not actually booted the new kernel yet. |
| 38 |
This is what I get after trying to make a kernel: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
root@smoker /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3 # make all && make |
| 41 |
modules_install |
| 42 |
CHK include/linux/version.h |
| 43 |
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h |
| 44 |
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh |
| 45 |
CHK include/linux/compile.h |
| 46 |
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#3) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The present kernel configuration has modules disabled. |
| 49 |
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support. |
| 50 |
Then build a kernel with module support enabled. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
make: *** [modules_install] Error 1 |
| 53 |
root@smoker /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3 # |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I suspect that I can leave off the make modules_install since there |
| 57 |
*should* not be any. It also says it makes the kernel itself. I'm just |
| 58 |
curious if my nvidia drivers will load without the loadable modules |
| 59 |
option there?? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
My wish list, the ability to compile in loadable module support into the |
| 62 |
kernel and whatever else it has to have with it. Back to nothing being |
| 63 |
a module except nvidia. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
If I can't have it that way, I guess I'll have a extra module. Of |
| 66 |
course, then something else will likely creep in the list too. ;-) |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I hope the extra info helps. Thanks. |
