User Feedback :: recompiling kernel, make not found
hi there, I'm going to recompiling the kernel because I have a wireless rt2500 chip PCMCIA card. Now, ndiswrapper doesn't see it, dunno why... I want to recompile kernel without SMP and use native linux drivers for rt2500.
It is my first experience on compiling kernel for linux, I read an howto, and I need "make" isn't it? then, on DSL if I write "make config" it says command not found.
I tried to do "sudo apt-get install make" but it hangs up on install... See the gcc* packages in mydsl - comes with gcc which you'll need as a compiler anyways.Huzzzo,
Any success? I'm trying to do the same thing.
I have a Belkin F5D7010 (version 6) wifi card pciid: 1804:0301
MDGI have recompiled the kernel successfully, but there is a problem: edit:
Code Sample
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
funny Huzzzo, I have no idea what that message means - sorry!
By chance did you compile the RT2500 driver for the 2.4.x kernal or the 2.6.x kernal?
I've also heard a claim that using the windows version of the RT2500 with ndiswrapper works, but I only read success with that once.
I'm kinda limited here as I only have DSL installed on an old IBM Thinkpad 310ED, 133 MHz, 64 MB memory and a dial-up connection (no other Linux installed).
