Re: RTL linux

Charles, the EMC software has setup to use RedHat
Linux. There has been other setup's using other Linux
distrubitions. You are a pioneer in this area, let us know
how you make out.

I am running Slackware linux and would like to install the RTL Patch. I
also will be installing EMC, but can't get past the RTL.

I get the patch to work fine. I changed the version number in the
kernel_patch file which is created from the tar before I ran the patch.
The patch appears to work fine.

The problem is with the compile to make a new kernel. The modules are
installed to a directory with the old kernel name, not the new kernel name
.RTL1.3

The new dir is created and all looks fine except the 2 rtl modules are in
the wrong place.

When it boots it tries to load the 2 modules and fails because they were
compiled for the new kernel and the machine is booting to the old kernel.

I have tried repeatedly and have not been able to pass the point.

Any ideas?

I know this stuff is hard to do over e-mail, but any ideas are welcome.
