Thanks for all your support.
Yesterday evening I reconfigured the kernel again, and I added SCSI I think,
but I also removed some generic IDE drivers and just kept the VIA driver for
ide. Recompiled, and rebooted. And voila, it booted :) I will compare the
two .config's to see what I actually did that made it work.
But there is a lot of work left before it's complete:
* APCI don't work (powerbutton)
* Framebuffer at startup (like on the install-cd, which looks nice)
* Mouse-support (maybe this comes with the framebuffer, as I can see it
detects the mouse)
* Swedish keymap (I didnt get the config correct, but I know how to now)
* X
(Hmm. If I would have choosen Windows instead, I would have been up and
running with Cubase in 3 hours max, but I would not have learned so much)
A few questions:
- When I recompile the kernel and replace an existingly (in lilo) configured
kernel, do I have to rerun lilo ?
- Neil: How have you configured your frambuffer support in lilo/grub ? The
handbook is some what confusing in this matter I think ?
- How much do I earn in speed by optimising and removing unneeded options in
the kernel ? Or is it just kernel-size ?
