Dear Debs, Let me repeat my question about the cdrom.o file which should go into /lib/modules/2.0.3x/cdrom.
When I boot with the standard Debian 2.0.34 kernel, I get the message CD-44 E ATAPI CDROM Drive which is correct (I have a Teac CD-44E, swappable with a floppy drive in a Thinkpad 760) and everything works with it. I have recompiled the kernel2.0.34 from the CD's source file and, later, a 2.0.35 patched wpre36-13 (from /usr/local/src/linux). According to the docs, it is sufficient to select (with Yes) the kernel compilation options BLK_DEV_IDE, BLK_DEV_IDECD, and ISO9660_FS to have support for an IDE/ATAPI CDROM drive. I did it with menuconfig. Then I made make-kpkg --revision=custom.x.y kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel_image....deb After reooting, I get the message "can't find cdrom module": indeed, there is no file.o in /lib/modules/2.0.3x/cdrom, not even cdrom.o (the module that runs when I boot with the Debian kernel). How does one get cdrom.o in /lib/modules...? Is it necessary to select at least one type of module for compilation in order to have the generic module cdrom.o? The documentaiton says NO. Has anyone had the same problem? Thank you.
