 Posted: Thu Jun 06, 2002 9:54 am Post subject: Need help with kernel compiling |
 |
|
Sorry for the double post (forgot to log in the first time)
I used linux before (suse, but here you don't really need to configure anything)
So I decidec to install gentoo and learn some more.
But I have some problems with compiling my kernel.
I don't know which options to activate and which to disable.
What I need in the kernel is support for the following
Soundblaster Live
Networkcard (realtek 8139)
Harddrives (2 ide drives, I want to enable DMA)
CDRW (plextor on IDE Channel)
DVD (pioneer on IDE CHANNEL)
Power management (I don't know which of the options I have to activate, but I have a recent computer).
Thanks for the help |

add "hdc=ide-scsi" (hdc == whatever your CDRW is) to your kernel-options in the boot-loader!

Thanks for the help so far,
I forgot to mention that I need USB support as well (USB mouse connected to Microsoft Natural keyboard, has a USB hub).
Do I modify these settings with the make menuconfig command, or do I have to edit a specific file? |

these values are in /usr/src/linux/.config.
you can modify all these values by make menuconfig, or just edit the .config file manually and do further modifications with menuconfig later on.
ad USB: sorry, only have an additional mouse. initial keyboards need some settings I don't know
