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

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

Realtec and the old kernel

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.

New subject: ssh default protocol version problem
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
