I recompiled my kernal to support two chips. When I went through the make config i did not see any thing that looked like it might belong to the iso9660 file system. I need this fs to mount my cdrom. I looked in /proc/filesystem and sure enough iso9660 was not there. Also looked at the modules file and found cdrom.
given: the bios and the kernal see the cdrom and identifi it correctly.before I compiled I made a single change to the kernal, which was to uncoment the line SMP=1. I read(past tense) from the cdrom using mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom just fine before the compile hypothosis 1)I need to say yes to one of these in make config..and make zImage _SYSU_FS _UFS_FS _XIA_FS _NLS _NFS_FS _NCP_FS _SMB_FS _HPFS_FS I may have missed one but I know I did not see anything close to iso9660 2)this has somthing to do with modules I need to know how to load the correct module..point me to some docs or a book or give me the ans if you have time. while I was in make config and again in make zImage i selected these options pertaining to modules though I only think these are related to modules because thay say "module" in there disc some where ...there are probably more vars for modules, let me know if this is T. CONFIG_EXP NO CONFIG_MODULES YES CONFIG_MODVERSION NO PS should i CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION y/n PENTIUM 200 no mmx two chips on the board GA586 if you could give me a doc that talks about these options in more detail
