[Madwifi-users] Help with Kernel upgrade for the DWL-AG520 please!

[Daniel K. <da...@sw...>]

 Hi, I need to get my DWL-AG520 to work on redhat 9 .....

Can enyone point me to a step by step guide...that someone may have
written??

What i think I have to do is upgrade the kernel to 2.4.2 something...

Then recompile the kernel with the needed options

then well thats all i know! ( SO far )

Can someone help me please?

....1day later

Kernel upgrade from 2.4.20-8 to 2.4.22 (Stable)

-----------------

make mrproper
make menuconfig

make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

(Here I tried both "make install" and the following instead)

cp the bzImage to /boot/"bootimagename"
cp System.map /boot/System.map-"version"

made entries manually to /etc/grub.conf

Both ways this was my outcome

I have tried compiling the 2.4.22 kernel and booting but it wont boot

cannot boot root fs "LABEL=/"

I changed it to hda'x'  ( X being /boot) partition where my boot loader grub
is

Then when it booted it booted whilst FAILING all the tests on boot up eg:
instead of OK most where FAILED...

It then hung on "Started System Logger"

I'm in the process of installing redhat from scratch... then going to do the
same steps again

ANY IDEAS????
