RE: Can\'t compile own kernel on RH 7.0

[Ralph Slooten <ralph slooten quicknet nl>]

Yes, there seems to be a problem there somewhere. I can't even compile the
origional source file that comes with redhat 7.0 :-(  I have now truied many
things, however, they all end up EXACTLY the way you describe in your E-mail!
Same place and everything. The reason I needed to compile is to get my CD
Writer to work, but someone sent me a great solution, which get's it to work
(IDE-Scsi emulation) without having to recompile, and it worked :-)

I am going to send it in another E-mail right after this one.


Seems Redhat may have rushed too much to get their latest out of the door :-/
