Derby) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: RE: Compilation of Kernel and a little more.. Date: 26 May 1993 18:56:19 GMT Organization: Youngstown State/Youngstown Free-Net Lines: 17 Message-ID: <1u0egj$fnn@news.ysu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: yfn.ysu.edu I have finally been able to compile the kernel source. I retrieved the newer kernel source from sun-lamp along with the new config. I have a question though. Since I placed lpa0 in the config file and compiled the kernel, shouldn't I get a lpa0 message when it determines what is attached to my machine? I have a lpt port, and it works fine under DOS. Also, when I run MAKEDEV, it creates the device, but I get the Device not configured error messagewhenever I try to write to it. MAKEDEV creates it as 25,0. Should I use a different major,minor??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Robert Ellsworth Dutchess Community College PS: I would also like to thank those who responded to my previous postings...
