<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found the drivers for my modem,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but to make them work I have to apply a patch for
the modem using the two commands:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>#patch -p0 < usb-uhci.patch <BR>#patch -p0 <
usb-ohci.patch </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do this after having copied the patches in the
/usr/source/linux-2.4.21.1-ll-acpi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I try to recompile the kernel in the way the
majority of guides on internet suggest,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for making effective the changes these
patches apply</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make mrproper (if previous attempts
made)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make oldconfig</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make dep</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make clean</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make bzImage</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make modules</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make modules_install</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but at the point of making bzImage, I get errors at
the end, the cpu cannot find acpi.h, acpi_bus.h and some other file related
to acpi, which I don't remember.....and a kernel image is not done</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I saw this output searching on the archives of
PlanetCCRMA, with 2 people or more having this result who posted questions,
every email had no answer, but the one with an explanation near to this
link</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so I probably instead going to /usr/src/redhat, but
I don't know how to modify spec file to add my patch,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried to do </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS<BR>rpmbuild -ba
kernel-2.4.21-1.ll.acpi.spec</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but I get errors</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so my answer is how to get out of this situation
without quitting :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>who can help me how to recompile the kernel with
the patch added in the correct way?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my system is redhat 9 with the planetCCRMA kernel
2.4.21-1.ll.acpi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance</FONT></DIV>
