Dear Lugers,
I'm currently using RH 7.1 running Linux 2.4.2-2. I'm trying to upgrade to 2.4.12. I'm not upgrading just by applying patches.
I'm having problems with my ethernet card. Its Realtec and the old kernel uses 8139too.o module. I do make the proper selections but eth0 fails to come up and also vfat not supported by kernel.
I just follow the usual steps make menuconfig, make dep make clean, make bzImage, make install, make modules, make modules_install.
I've not done any kernel compilation before.....so may not be knowing some known issues.
I also want to know what exactly should be selected as part of kernel and what as modules.
Awaiting your reply, Best regards, Mayur Joshi Interpole Solutions

Download the entire source, but remember to apply the parport patch for 2.4.12. I don't know if it is already applied.

In network devices, enable Ethernet 10/100, under ethernet, enable RTL8139 as a module.
I just follow the usual steps make menuconfig, make dep make clean, make bzImage, make install, make modules, make modules_install.
copy your kernel to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.12, edit lilo.conf, copy System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.12, run depmod -ae 2.4.12 (ignore errors), run lilo, reboot.
I also want to know what exactly should be selected as part of kernel and what as modules.
ide driver, ext2fs driver, elf driver, unix domain sockets driver should be part of kernel. Everything else as a module.

Hi Everybody,
I am facing a problem using ssh.
The new version of ssh uses protocol version 2 by default. And for certain things I need protocol version 1. To use protocol version 1 by default I have tried changing system-wide configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) as well as user-specific configuration file ($HOME/.ssh/config).
I uncommented the line # Protocol 2,1 and changed it to Protocol 1,2
Note : In the above files I also tried only 1 and removing 2.
But still it is using protocol version 2. When I try on command line ( $ ssh -1 hostname ) then it works.
Any ideas ?
regards
