Hello. I have an old PCMCIA controller on my old Pentium 100mhz laptop (Cirrus Logic CL 6729).
I have heard that in order for the pcmcia controller to work (it doesn't work out of the box with dsl linux), i need to recompile the kernel and exclude the kernel pcmcia support, then go and add the pcmcia-cs packavge as a module.
I'm pretty new to linux and have never compiled a kernel. I guess i am suppossed to run:
make menuconfig (select the options i want)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make Modules
Make modules_install
then i'm ready to go, copy my kernel to the /boot directory, change the lilo.conf file, run lilo and reboot.
How do i obtain the original config that dsl 3.0.1 used in its kernel config so that i have a base to start from? Then how to I make the pcmcia-cs package run as a kernel module?
Also, when i'm configuring the kernel in make menuconfig, some of the items are installed as modules...how do i set dsl to run/not run those modules?
-Thanks
