I generally use "make xconfig" because the gui is easier to navigate, but
you can use make menuconfig as well. When it comes up, everything willstay
as it is except what you change. Say "yes" to parallel Port IDE support to
compile it into the kernel, or "M" to add it as a module. Then do the "make
dep", "make clean", and "make bzImage". If you "M"odularized it, then you
do a "make modules", and "make modules_install". Copy or move your
"bzImage" to the boot location, and make sure LILO points to it and reboot.

Subject: [PARPORT] Recompile kernal for paride
Hi,
Thanks to James and Cam for the advice.
I have read Kernel-HOWTO and have two questions before I go ahead.
1. Is there a way of running "make config" (or some other script) so that
all the current selections are retained and I _only_ have to say "y" to
the Parallel Port IDE support? My system was configured by someone else
(and it generally works) but I don't know what responses he gave to the
make script. BTW, Kernel-HOWTO does not explicitly say what the
configuration file is called and where it resides.
2. Section 9.2 of Kernel-HOWTO implies that I can leave my existing kernel
alone and run "make modules", rather than configuring them into the
kernel. Can I do this to get the same result so that I can then "insmod
paride" successfully?
Cheers,
John.

You need to recompile your kernel to include Parallel Port IDE device
support as modules. See the Kernel HOW-TO on how to accomplish this.
NOTE: You should compile all of the Shuttle drivers. My HP
tapestreamer uses the EPAT interface, but I failed to compile the EPST
driver the fires time and the EPAT driver would not load.
