Thank you all very much for the help with my RPM problem. Slowly but surely
I am learning how it all works. But you where right, that did not solve my
original problem.
After reading your instructions and trying them a number of times I
realized what I was doing wrong.... This is UNIX.... Caps count!!! make
zimage is not the same as make zImage!
Just thought I would post this reminder for other newbies on the list. Read
the instructions very carefully. I didn't and I wasted four or five hours
as a result.
I would also like to thank Paul for a very concise and easy to read set of
instructions for compiling a new kernel. It would be nice if the Howto had
an appendix showing these basic steps in the same concise form.
Once again, thanks for the help.
Dave
