Sorry to bother you! 1. I should have noticed that the 1480 is in your list of updates, and that there is a separate SCSI forum with postings about it. Thanks for the very prompt response. 2. However, I have spent several hours trying (and a call) to execute the simple command make config in the new pcmcia directory! (I used version 3.1.15 because of your posting on May 15 to Barton). --the question is about getting the source. I used the red hat upgrade manager to install the kernal tree, and it looked like it was in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (but I didn't check carefully for files, as there are a lot of them--did I miss the directory?). (Note: turned off kernal* exceptions in the upgrade manager, it looked like the package was installed properly). 2a. Then ran config in the pcmcia directory and it said the tree was incomplete (I typed /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES) in the first question. The config quit at this point. 3. Then tried the manual method-- followed your download instructions (the HOWTO is invaluable) and had a /usr/src/linux directory. My kernel is 2.2.14-5.0 so I downloaded the 2.2.14 tar. Put the /linux directory in /usr/src/ -- and used the default for the answer to the first question. I got a warning about version conflict between subtree 14.0 and 14-5.0, so stopped. 3a. Noticed that the printout in the posting above by Barton on May 18 did not have this warning message and he was using Redhat 6.2. i.e. it verfied the 2.2.14-5.0 subtree. --So, how should I proceed? Sorry to be so uninformed!

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
