or do what I do. Get the src.rpm of the kernels from Redhat. install it (rpm -ivh kernel*.src.rpm), then go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and look for the config files there. They are usually named kernel---.config. e.g. kernel-2.4.18-i686-enterprise.config copy that to /usr/src/linux/.config Now you have the config that redhat used. "Robert A.

The only way that "make oldconfig" works is if you get the kernel source by installing the "kernel-source" (and maybe the "kernel-headers") RPMs (note: not the "kernel" SRPMs) from RedHat. Using the kernel sources from www.kernel.org, as I originally suggested, will not work. > > Bob. > > > Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 18:13:28 -0700 > > From: "Robert A.

If you rolled your own kernel, you will find it in /usr/src/linux (or wherever you built your source out of, but "linux" is the default). > > > > In RedHat, if you are using the default kernel for your distribution level, you can recreate the .config by downloading the kernel source (www.kernel.org) and doing a make oldconfig.
