|
|
I am using the gentoo-sources 2.4.9r7 and I have tried several times to enable preempt in the kernel but I have the same problem everytime. The build goes fine, and I have no errors but when I reboot my system with the new kernel I get module errors which leaves my NICs and sound card dead. When I do a modprobe 3c59x or similar, it gives some kind of preempt error. Sorry I cant remember what exactly the error says, but I'm tired of playing with a kernel that wont work right.
I've searched the forum but I have not found anything that looks remotely close to my problem. Any help is much appreciated.
I don't know if this helps any, but here are some of the options I have turned on in the kernel.
SMP
Low-Latency
High Memory Support (4GB)
MTRR
The modules that seem to break are:
3c59x
8139too
snd-emu10k1
snd-pcm-oss
If thhere is anymore information needed, I'll be glad to help. I want to try anything that will make my duallie PIII just a littl quicker, not that I'm not impressed the difference gentoo makes. Thanks in advance. |

Try copying your .config file from /usr/src/linux and then run make mrproper and then replace your .config file and rebuild your kernel as normal. _________________ This message self destructed a long time ago. |
