Keep in my i'm new with Linux.
I installed Fedora Core 3 on my Compaq Presario 700Z laptop with no problems. Also did all of the updated (including bringing the kernel to 2.6.9-681.
Instead of trying to patch my orinoco drivers for use of the monitor function, I decided to try my luck at compiling a new kernel.
These are the steps I took:
downloaded full source from kernel.org
tar -xvjf linux-2.6.10
into directory
make mrproper
make oldconfig (didn't change anything, only said y/m/n to those that I new what they meant)
make
su -
make modules_install
make install
rebooted with my wireless pcmcia in and the new hardware screen came up and recognized my card
did show details for the boot up and noticed that when the eth1 part came up it failed due to something like "orinoco_cs not found). I did notice that the power light was NOT on on the card. the pcmcia on the boot said ok though.
once fedora booted up, the card wasn't working. I went to a terminal, su - , did a service pcmcia restart and it said that the pcmcia core module was not found.
since the card works in 2.6.9-681 I must have done the compile wrong?
any help would be appreciated.....
also, where does the new kernel store the config file? i know that the make oldconfig pulls it from /boot, but when i looked after my compile the 2.6.10 didn't have a config file there....
