I'm running rh5.0 with most of the updates. I've been running
the 2.0.32 kernel from the RPM on RH's site. I'd really like
to have FAT32 support so I can steal some harddrive space from
Windows and to ease some work that I do under both environments.
I DL'd the generic 2.0.34 source and built a kernel with it that
worked but was flakey in some ways... some things hung some of the
time... such as ifconfig. So I got the source RPM for 2.0.32 and
applied the "Joliet/FAT32" patch to them. Patch complained about
the "namei.c" (think that's right) file, but the web site said that
was OK. I configured and built the kernel. During build there
were lots of "vfat_blah redefined warnings" and when I boot it, I
get lots of unresolved symbol errors... argh.
Can anyone give me a procedure to either patch, upgrade, cuss the
kernel into what I want? Oh, one side note here, I'd been having
dropped packets on PPP that went away with the 2.0.34 kernel... I
think that was from the IP Frag option so I am interested in a
custom kernel.
One more thing, what's an fstab entry for FAT32 look like?
Thanks for any help or new cuss words. Oh and puleez don't
mention the kernel HOWTO, it's caused me grief already.
One more thing, again, I don't use lilo, I boot linux with
loadlin from a windows shortcut.
