I'm in the process of replacing Slackware 3.0 with Redhat 4.0 on the
three machines on my network. I have sucessfully installed Redhat 4.0
on my "experimental" machine. Patching it as per the errata went
smoothly and after a bit of work, I got modules to work well with a
custom kernel. I am quite pleased and it has been stable for over a
week now.
The next step is to get it working on my laptop. Everything went well
until I tried recompiling the kernel. As the version tags changed,
kerneld becomes unhappy with the pcmcia modules (which are not
generated in a 'make modules'). The PCMCIA howto describes compilation
from a seperate source tree "/usr/src/pcmcia". I've poked around
ftp.redhat.com; I searched the redhat-list archives; I've rtfm'ed.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something. Is there an SRPMS for the pcmcia
modules? I don't mind grabbing them and installing them manually, but
if an RPM is handy, I'ld prefer to use it.
Thanks in Advance,
pjm
