Re: kernel2.2.13 and EMC

I have this working now on RH6.1.....These could be problems:

if you followed the RTL directions, they are wrong. You need to follow the
instructions on the EMC web site.

RTL untarballs itself into /usr/src/linux/beta?? (depending on version). EMC
looks for it in /usr/src/rtl. Making a symbolic link from
/usr/src/beta??/rtl to /usr/src/rtl can solve this.

EMC looks for the file rtl_sched....NOT The file rtl_sched.o as the build
creates. This would explain Frank...Zappa working, but not EMC. I would
recommend linking or copying /usr/src/rtl/<wherever the modules
are>/rtl_sched.o to /usr/src/rtl/<wherever the modules are>/rtl_sched and do
the same for rtl_time, and the other(s). I'm sorry I can't be more specific,
but I am dual booting and in windows right now.....

Good luck...contact me if that doesn't work and we can try to find the
problem ;-)

Glad to be of help
-Brian
