Ok, well this all started when my friend wanted to put Redhat on his computer. Ok no biggie, so i install it. I go to setup his wireless network connection...this is where the fun begins. I use a labtop and have a Linksys WPC11 card. He has a Linksys WUSB11 v2.6, i have the drivers for it(although i'm still a little unsure if i installed them right or fully understand how to). Anyways he needs the 2.4.20 kernel for his USB to work. So im like crap, ok, ill d/l on mine and i guess learn how to roll a kernel(might as well). Well it took a little bit but i managed to learn how to do it in a few hours and i now have it as an option in my Grub. However it has some problems. It list a few different "FAILED" states when booting up. Some say like "USB Keyboard and junk like that", the main one tho i believe is "Mounting local file systems - fs type ext3 not supported", it also says this for "Mounting others...". Also once i am in my GNOME it says the /dev/mixer isnt functioning properly or something. Also my internet connection is no good under this kernel. ANd im sure there may be a few other things. Just incase your woundering when i compiled the kernel i did make oldconfig and only said yes to a few of the new features(i forget which ones but they didnt seem like they would mess anything up). Anyways, now that i have figured out the basics behind compiling a kernel i wanna burn the kernel to a CD so i can do it on my friends computer. However, i don't get how to work the burner "KOnCD" or whateva. If anyone can point me to a porgram to burn data to a cd that would be awsome. Also any imput on the reason the kernel doesnt wanna work properly. I run Redhat 8.0 by the way.
