Is there some kind of limit to the number of options you can compile into the kernel? I just insalled slackware... ftp'd the /slakware tree from sunsite on April 6th, kernel 2.0.30, and when I tried to recompile support for my digiboard into it... along with firewall... forewarding.... modules for IOMEGA zip.... multi other modules... anyway, I have noticed that the more stuff I try to compile support for ... in modules or directly.... it never compiles, that is if it even gets past make dep.
My usual routine for a clean, untouched kernel tree from ftp.kernel.org is: cd /usr/src/linux make config make dep make zImage make zdisk
When this works... it allows for LILO, BTW has totally screwed up my superblock... I think... now bootable only with a disk... as LILO: prompt is now infinite 04 04 04 04 04's across my screen.
It seems that when I compile support for fewer things... The make zImage makes it further into compilation, until eventuall I've removed support for most of the stuff I want to get it to compile.
All of the libraries should have NO problems as I downloaded everything the same day. The entire system... including kernel is supposed to be a "matched set" right?
One more little caveat.... Now, after my last reboot... I get this ever so often splat across my screen..:
cat: can't resolv symbol '__ftp_cgntrol'
Kinda like a mini oops?
Thanks in advance.... Hopefully one of these days I'll be getting dirty in the code making Linux better and better with the rest of you! That little language called C is the only thing that's stopping me.... for now. :)
