Nahhhhhh....
I want to recompile the kernel!
What information will i need? Seeing as how this is a vanilla kernal would you
suggest just going with the defaults except enabling ISA.
Would I use one of these <1> to compile it?
Also, while searching <locate kernel> I happened upon
/usr/share/doc/usbvision-modules-2.6.15-26-386/readme.2.4.x-kernels.gz
/usr/share/doc/usbvision-modules-2.6.15-26-386/readme.2.6.x-kernels.gz
Could the problem with my USB drives NOT WORKING be that they weren't compiled
in?
Funny thing about the USB drive is that it is appearing in the mount partitons
GUI as sdb1 (sda is swap) but it won't mount. It just says does not exhist.
