BTW

nobody has said ANYTHING about

make all(which replaces make bzImage modules)

in kernel 2.6

all is well now....

don't know how it got started on the DVD-Rom, but i copied the dvdrom line over to my cd rewriter

but excluded the ro option(it is a burner)

here is a copy of my /etc/fstab, if it will help anybody else out with the supermount issue.

/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,sync 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0

Thanks for your patience.

HAL comes with LE2005...........

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

have tried editing fstab(still a noobie)

and not sure i'm checking(or unchecking)the right options

a little more specific help would be GREATLY appreciated.

what alternatives are there to supermount?

i want to be able to stick a cd into cdrom and have a

mounted window show up on my desktop.

now running 2.6.13.3 kernel on LE 2005.

have issues with supermount now......

but thats another topic.....

(newbie trying to grow up.)

have successfully installed 2.6.13.3 twicenow(going for number three as I type).

keep losing supermount along the way...

however cedega finds my cdrom.

but, konQuereor can't show me the files.

also, whenevr i try to reconfigure the kernel,

(after following the above steps, plus selecting which initrd to use in MCC),

upon trying to boot the new kernel, i get a panic about cant find init.

(have even used init= option in boot loader append).

mounting my CD-Burner and DVD-ROM is a big issue.

trying to reconfigure the kernel is an even bigger issue.

guess u can still call me newbie....

and STILL trying to get AWAY from Windoze.......

going on 3 years now.......

not on the 2.6.11-12mdksmp kernel

i am using the official pkg1.run..........

BUT, i just today successfully compiled and installed a kernel

(only changed the processor family to P4)

and installed the NVIDIA driver on this kernel

Now, I need to know how to configure the kernel myself for SMP

 

THANKS

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

found the HT and SMP options in the Processor type menu of menuconfig........

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

now all is well!

swapped hdds and re-installed Win and LE2005 with a SMP kernel with Nvidia drivers

everything going great................sofar

Correct!

found /lib/modules-2.6.11-12mdkcustom

successfully booted my FIRST kernel compile........

however, on the kernel.org page.....

the 2.6.13.2 link IS a patch file.

over to the right is an F link

which is the FULL source..........

just my TWO cents :P

BEFORE the dual-cores came out,

i was told by ALOT of so-called puter techs,

that if iwanted to go faster than 2.5GHz, then Intel was the way to go.

Hence, my new P4 3GHz 800 FSB w/HT

i875 Intel mobo, 1024 Mb RAM running a SMP kernel

My only AMD experience was with the K6-2 days...........

what intel Celeron 300A (overclocked to 450MHz)did in ONE clock cycle, amd K6-2 450MHz

did in TWO!

according to modern benchmarks of this era..........

found this out in the overclocking hey-day of the Celeron 300A era......

just my two cents

i want to jump in on this...........so forgive me.

but that is EXACTLY where my error is!

i named my new kernel simply custom

when i do:#mkinitrd /boot/initrd-custom.img custom

i get:

/lib/modules/custom is not a directory

forgot to make modules_install

sorry

pctech101.com

Mandriva 6-CD set=$12.99

unfortunately most of the included drivers are already out-dated

FOUND!!

the nitro patches for 2.6.13 are now on the front page in the news

http://www.sepi.be/

also under Category

-nitro-sources

thanks a bunch!

now on to a new problem.........

installed smp kernel in le2005

cannot get NVIDIA driver(v.7676) to compile the module

have successfully installed several times on 2.6.11-12mdk

not 2.6.11-12mdksmp as of yet

LE 2005 k2.6.11-12

P4 3GHz 800M FSB /HT

Maxtor 80Gb (for windows)

Seagate 40Gb (for linux)

does that include using cedega?................

i agree with the above (i use linux....who cares which distro.).

however, on my machine

Doom3 for Linux runs MUCH better!!

Thank You idsoftware

p.s. this may be slightly off topic...sorry

it would only be betrayal IF! transgaming (or somebody else) could get ALL Windows-based games working on linux...........

`i ONLY boot to windows IF i cant get the game working any other way in linux!!
