Erik, Thanks for your previous prompt reply. I reloaded RedHat 7.2 fresh with the same options as before. I mounted the CD and did the "rpm -Uvh *" from the RPMS/i386 directory. The modules.dep message came up as expected. I decided to try to compile a custom kernel at this point so I went to /usr/src and created a link for "linux" to the linux-2.4.13-lanl.3. I changed into linux and did a "make menuconfig". I turned on show expermintal, turned off smp and turned on Beowulf Distributed Process Space. I exited with save and did make clean, make dep and make all. Everything looked o.k. I then did a make modules and during the compile of drivers/net/dummy.c there were a whole host of errors. The last 4 on the screen said "boot_cpu_data_R0657d037 undeclared". I then changed to /mnt/cdrom/RPMS/athlon and did an "rpm -Uvh *" and got another screen full of errors like "file ...sunrpc.o from install of ... conflicts with file from ..." I then did an "rpm -Uvh --force *" from RPMS/athlon and got 12 errors like "unresolved symbols __down_write_Rc3c866ab, ...". I also got two messages saying that "img"s already existed and the 2.4.7-10/modules.dep not found message. I then went back to /usr/src/linux and reran the "make modules". I got the same messages as before. I decided to try and boot the machine. Grub now had six lines (2 smp, 2 lanl.3, 1 beoboot and one 3custom). I tried both lanl.3's and the custom but the machine would not boot. Thanks, Neal Nelson |
