|
|
HREF="ot.html#KERNELSRC"

configured, that is, you should have done a <B

|

CLASS="COMMAND"

you are running kernel 2.4.8 and if you have the source for kernel 2.4.9 in <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>/usr/src/linux/</TT

|

then the drivers would not work.</P

|
|
don't have a smp/uniprocessor mismatch ( that is, running uniprocessor kernel but having a kernel
|
|
source with smp support in /usr/src/linux). Also, you will need a kernel

which supports loadable modules.</P
