Kernel Upgrade issue

[sciconf]

Hi

Mine is FC4, Kernel 2.6
I use a ATI AIW 9000pro

All has been fine but not TV Tuner functionality

I downloaded the latest Kernel and followd the process to upgrade.

When I did "make modules", I got the following errors (seems like the TV tuner card) - Any advice? Thanks (see below the error messages):

CHK include/linux/version.h

Are you compiling your own kernel from source?
If so there is a bug in the DVB section of the 2.6.17.7 kernel. Not sure what but for now leave it out of your config.

I downloaded the latest kernel from the RedHat website.

[Brian1]

Which version is it?
Just from the info you are compiling it correct? Not installing and rpm precompiled version?

2.6.17.7

Yes, Just from the info I am compiling

May have downloaded from
kernel.org

Thats what I thought. Did the same thing over the weekend and got the same error. I just did not compile the DVB section since not having any of those boards in that machine. If you need one I would make it as minimum as can be. If still fails with what you need contact the deveolpers of that section and let them know.

How can I make it minimum as possible?

Also How can I avoid the DVB section ?

Pls elaborate - I am a newbie.

[Brian1]

If you use either ' make xconfig ' or ' make gconfig ' just go down the main table to the DVB section and uncheck it. Not checked or Dotted. Save and Exit. Run ' make ' and now it should finish the build from where it errored out.

I have 2 NIC cards - When I do ' make xconfig " under which option should I look for to make sure the right one is selected.

[Brian1]

Do you mean for the 2 nics?
If so then select the same modules you are using now in older kernels.
