Below is from the readme but I am still very new to linux. I have successfully recompiled my kernel but below eludes me what does it mean when it says use make-kpkg to make a module. Please advise
If you are using Debian, install the thinkpad-base package, then install the thinkpad-source package and use make-kpkg to make a thinkpad-modules-<your.kern.ver> package for your kernel and install that. You are finished. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 12:58 PM Subject: Re: Thinkpad and Serial Port > Hi, > > "Kris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I have an IBM ThinkPad 600e and every once in awhile the bios will > > reset and the serial port won't work.
