Why build from source? What do you need that the binary kernel images don't provide?
Hi Roberto, I wanted a leaner and faster kernel and I wanted my sound card supported at kernel level. Also it was learning experience.
Strange. My udev-based Etch system has a /dev/ttyS0 present. Have you modified anything in your udev configuration?
I have never used udev before and don't even know how to modify it ! :) I think I must have done something wrong in my kernel .config, can I send it to you?
That could indicate a damaged CD or failing drive. What is the output of 'hdparm /dev/hdc' and also 'hdparm -i /dev/hdc'?
But this does not happen in my 2.4.27 kernel, I get no such error messages and when I cp file from my CD drive in 2.4.27 it is instantaneously and does not take the 40 seconds to do it the first time as happens in 2.6.18, again I think this is problem in my .config but it is so big I am not sure what part needs fixed. My friend said maybe I did not enable support for the 8250 serial driver, do you know how I can enable this in my .config? And if I must recompile how can i tell make to read in my old .config but then let me change it and save changes before proceeding with kernel compile?
If this is happening at boot, you have a failing drive or motherboard.
My motherboard and drive is fine, I get none of these messages in my 2.4.27, if you wish I can post output of dmesg from my 2.4.27 kerenel ok?
Depends on what is trying to access it.
It says these will be removed in future so how do I handle this? udev is so confusing, I have no idea why kernel developers decided it was better than devfs :( any simple document to read which explains udev and how to use it clearly?

It seems to need register every device (physical device, character device, block device), does this happen with your udev too? Zach
