I have some hp pc's that I'm trying to udpcast. They have broadcom netxtreme network cards which don't seem to be supported by the default boot disk, nor by the net-mod.tar.gz secondary floppy.
I followed the directions here http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/makeImage.html#kernelCompile on making a custom boot disk by compiling my own kernel.
Before doing anything I edited the Makefile and changed the "extra-version" parameter. I just deleted what was there and put in "-udpcast". I do a cd /usr/src/linux/2.4.20-20.9. Then I copy the udpc-config.txt file to this dir and name it .config. Next I do a "make oldconfig" which runs fine and so does the "make dep". However; when I do a "make bzImage" it runs for a while and then it stops with errors regarding devfs? What am I doing wrong?
I even tried to download the RPM with a pre-compiled kernel and its modules, but I'm unsure what do with it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? All I need is a boot disk with the Broadcom drivers that gets me udpcasting.
