Heh, ok here's the thing. I'm in no rush to get my other machine setup as router/server/firewall/juijitsu-master quite yet (though that's the idea for later on); hence my mention of looking at different modem modules. Firstly, I'd just like to compile a fresh kernel from scratch to get out some old bloat, maybe introduce some new bloat, and generally just play around with optimization. But as it is I'm stuck, not at the drawing board, but at the store trying to find where the drawing boards are sold. If you catch my drift.
Here's a list of what I've already tried: - unpacked the 2.4.18 kernel into /usr/src (an otherwise empty directory) - make xconfig (mostly getting rid of stuff I was pretty sure had nothing in common with my hardware setup). - make dep - make clean (just to be sure) - make bzImage - make modules - make modules_install - depmod -a - the howtos seem to end at this point; some mention a lilo command (I'm using grub). One mentioned copying the system.map file to /boot, which I did but wasn't sure if i had to name it appropriately. Also, my /boot directory contains a number of initrd-2.4.x-x.img files which are named after various kernel releases (as updated via up2date). And I'm not sure to get one of these for the freshly compiled kernel. Any suggestions? p.s., the modprobe command returned "command not found", which seems a bit odd. > > Sounds like you're rebuilding your house because you can't find the > good scissors. :-) > > What module do you think you need, and why?
