Hi,
I was looking into the linux package from base repository for ROCK 2.1.
In config-500.in file I saw this:
if [ "$ROCKCFG_PKG_LINUX_HEADERS" = linux24 ]; then
        pkgfork linux linux26-header stages ---3-----9
fi
if [ "$ROCKCFG_PKG_LINUX_HEADERS" = linux26 ]; then
        pkgfork linux linux24-header stages ---3-----9
fi

It is this the desired behavior and why?

I was thinking why are you selecting to build the header for a
diferent version of kernel in level 3 ?

My next question is:
 How I can select to build all the modules for linux kernel 2.6 I saw
that you are using the make no2modules in linux.conf file.

  # all modules needs to be first so modules can be disabled by i.e.
  # the targets later
  echo "Enabling all modules ..."
  yes '' | eval $MAKE no2modconfig > /dev/null ; cp .config .config.2


This approach will not select all the modules. I found this by trying
to have selected the tulip driver for net.
Do you have any ideas on how to enable that driver ?
For now I did modify the no2modconfig to allmodconfig that selects everything.

Thanks,
Florin Muntean
