Kernel building

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

I've not compiled a kernel for quite a while (the last was around 2.6.8
for a RH9 box).

Does the kernel-source supplied with FC come with the config file used
by RH or if it doesn't, is one available? The kernels work fine, I just
want to tweak it so DETECT_ALL_LUNS (I think it is) is enabled for USB
so I can get my 8 in 2 reader working (there is a bugzilla job in for
this problem)

TTFN

FC doesn't come with kernel-source anymore

fwiw that is a *runtime* option where the default is set compile time...
so you don't need to recompile your kernel for that at all, you just
need to add the module parameter

(and please make sure to file the output of cat /proc/scsi/scsi into RH
bugzilla so that your device can be added to the whitelist)

Before I do that, this is the output of /proc/scsi/scsi and /sbin/lsusb
- I'm not sure they marry up!

Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: OEI-USB  Model: CompactFlash     Rev: 1.01
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 55aa:b012 OnSpec Electronic, Inc. 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:3004 Hewlett-Packard 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:a511 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV511+
WebCam
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

It is the device on Bus 002 Device 002 that I need to get working. It
looks like it should be the correct one, but I'd like to make sure
before filing a bugzilla.

For reference, the bugzilla related to this is

They do in a sense.

This looks like an actual memory card you stuck in one of slots...

and this is that 8-in-2 interface itself.  A pretty popular device.
You will find that, with 55aa:b012 id,  packaged with those floppies
which have also two slots for USB memory cards all fitting into one
regular floppy bay.  It would be nice not to need any "extra
wizzardry" in /etc/modprobe.conf for this to work.
