Topic: Driver compiling

[Paul van Dun]

Hello E-smither's

I'm trying to compile a driver for the highpoint HPT370 card  and e-smith now I think I'm on the right track but there is one question left:

The command to make the driver module is:

make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/2.2.19 RH72=1

The RH72=1 is an option, do I need to use it or uses 5.5 or 5.12 a different option at the end the available options are:

KERNELDIR=...
           Specify kernel source directory.
     
        BOOT=1
           Define __BOOT_KERNEL_BOOT.
           
        SMP=1
           Define __BOOT_KERNEL_SMP for SMP kernels.
           
        RH72=1
           Build driver on Red Hat 7.2 for i686 kernel.
           
        RH72=1 ATHLON=1
           Build driver on Red Hat 7.2 for athlon kernel.

And my last question is how can I accept a driver disk in 5.5 because it doesn't prompt for the accept command.
Or is there someone who has the driver disk made with Kelvin's HowTo and is willing to e-mail this to me.

Looking foerward to your reply,

Best regards
