Kernel and Modules

[craftyc]

SUCSESS!!!!

I compiled a working kernel (prety much).

Problems during boot: -
1) Won't mount local and other file systems (although I can use the system and have access to all drives)
2) IPVS - What is it gives me two errors
3) Kernel won't pick up my Soundcard (Although compiled in correctly)

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you want to mount windows share you need VFAT support.

Pls give the [color=blue:9be3a114d5]exact[/color:9be3a114d5] error.

You gotta load module with modprobe . For example my soundcard is cmpci i do [color=blue:9be3a114d5]modprobe cmpci[/color:9be3a114d5] to load it.Just learn your sound card's module name @ google.com and add modprobe foo (where foo is modulename ) to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it loads module at every boot.

Thanks CARTMAN.

1) VFAT support is definately compiled in, but I am not sure whether it is compiled into the kernel or as a module. If it is a module, does it load at boot all the time after I type modprobe xxxxx.o (can't remeber the specific module name) or do I have to do it every time I log in?

2) I'll have to get back to you on that one.

3) I'll try it.

Best way is to compile VFAT in kernel because if you compile as module you have to play with /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to get it loaded at boot time.

IPVS fails to load at boot and at shutdown can never clean its temp directory. Any ideas?

Also, this isn't really a necessity, but with my old kernel everything is logged in a graphical mode, ie anything that is started shows up with all the pretty colours. Is there any way to do this with my new kernel?

Thanks.

What is IPVS?

If you talking about login screen its about /etc/inittab first line is default run level if you make it 4 it takes you to the graphical login screen. And you can choose your login manager in /etc/rc.d/rc.4
