Hi, I have been running the 2.1 debian release (well) on my TP 560 for a week or so. I have delved into building my own custom kernel, to get around APM problems, add sound, SCSI etc.
I have read the kernel howtos, and read/printed the various things under /usr/linux/src that apply to the "components" I wish to get going. My latest attempts have been with the kernel-source-2.2.1_2.2.1-1.deb sources. I figured I'd try adding one piece at a time. My first attempt made APM (suspend/resume) work once only. Other attemps got my mic linked to my speaker, but no /dev/mixer or /dev/audio devices. SO, I want to start again from scratch. When I make "bzdisk" and boot, I think it is using the existing "conf.modules" which is not compatible with the newly built kernels. I'm hoping that there is some material out there I can read, which explains EVERYTHING I have to do. I suspect that I missing several key steps, and do not know where else to look. I am very willing to put the time in to get things right, I figure this time I will start with SOUND, then go onto the PCMCIA, SCSI, APM, etc.., adding one thing at a time. ANY suggestions, pointers to more in-depth docs, etc, would be AWESOME Many thanks, John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
