=====================================================
Thanks a LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT........
I was up all night and did remarkably well on my own...I did get all my
patches up to 2.2.9...
installed...and I did check as modules....the epst......etc.stuff..
I actually did get a total compile...but it kept choking on NFS...
When I began looking in some of the directories...I began to see rej....and
orig.....etc...all the
different sized...it looked a mess.........sigh
So this morning I reinstall the 2.2.5-15 source tree and have decided to try
it by doing
exactly as you said...I'll download the 2.2.9 source tree...then do exactly as
you said...
I actually did get it going last night .......sort of.....but I was only doing
insmod ppscsi
and insmod epst
but I couldn't mount it because I wasn't doing insmod scsi and insmod
sd_mod...
I'll let everyone know how its going...this is exiting to me I'm HAVING to
learn so much..
and this Syquest thing is the LAST on my list...
I got the Intellimouse wheel...scrolling...
WITH the wacom stylus....simultaneously...
I got the linear raid going...
I got the new 2.2.5.....kernel installed and running with my own
compile....(thank you thank you)
After this...project I'm going to go for the gold...and get my
SCSI Envisions {UMAX} scanner...going.....supposedly thie 2.2.5 kernel has
support the the
UDS-IS-11 scsi card that is ACUTALLY a DTC-3181.......(Domex-DTCTECK)
That would be great......also..
Thanks again....I'm anxious to start working....
