Re: LCD don't work after kernel recompilation

did you use you existing kernel config from /boot/config-2.6.8-2 ? because you can just copy that into your 2.6.12-2 kernel tree as .config and then make menuconfig, save & exit and then compile as usual. This should give you an exact same config just with newer code compiled in. Kegan Holtzhaus

LCD don't work after kernel recompilation

Hello all, I have a ECS A530 notebook (SiS 315). The problem: the LCD don't work after kernel recompilation, except in 640x480 mode. I used kernel 2.6.12-2. The LCD works with 2.6.8-2 standard kernel (Debian Sarge Stable) and with Knoppix 4.0 in 800x600. However, I don't make t

Re: Kernel recompilation

You probably don't have specified an initrd for your kernel in your bootloader. This way, the kernel cannot mount the root fs because the ext3 module is not loaded. You can create an initrd image using mkinitrd (I don't really know how to make one, see manpage), or simply add support for ext3 and i

I've been running 2.4.21. I had Debian's 2.4.21-5 and now see that 2.4.21-6 is available, with the fix that's been on everyone's mind. Can I safely just copy a few files over from the previous build, or might there be changes that would require a more careful procedure? Can I use `make oldconfig

By reasoning I would assume that all the kernel has is a 'generic module hook' that you can load any module into. Therefore, your sequence above should work. If it did not, how would you be able to use binary only modules such as the lucent winmodem driver? So in answer to your questions: Kent We
