[PlanetCCRMA] planet-ccrma kernel 2.4.20-4.ll on redhat 9

[shift8]

hi josh!  

your rh 9 problem is related to your version of rpm.  you need to have
the version that built the package, most likely rpm-4.1-1.06 on a stock
rh 8.   i haven't really checked, but my guess the that the ccrma
apt-get repository is for 8.0/7.3 systems.  rh 9 is only like 2 weeks
old...

martin - alsa is hard with any system ;)  on the kernel issue, you can't
just build an rpm of it had have it work like that.  the idea is that
you download the srpm, install it, run make config (or xconfig, or
menuconfig), change all of the kernel opts to match your hardware in the
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-4.ll.acpi dir, then edit the .spec for the rpm (in
/usr/src/rehat/SPECS) to have the pre-install section copy your .config
generated from the above make to the source tree, then run rpmbuild... 

i know i've left out some steps, but that would be the general idea.  if
you really want to do this, you need to read the rpm-howtos, the
kernel-build howtos, etc....  

if your system is working with the downgraded ccrma kernel, you don't
have to do any of these things :)  you don't need to delete anything
ether (you should keep everything in /boot and /lib/modules in case you
ever need/want to boot the original 2.4.20-9)

my recommendation for both?  use 8.0 ;)
