Re: Problems configuring Comedi for SuSE 9.0

Hi!

I think the SuSE kernels are simply "too" pached. ;-(

The best thing is to take a standard kernel from kernel.org and compile it.

You can try out the tar ball on our USB DUX page. It's a 2.4.25 kernel 
with comedi/comedilib support. I made the tar ball to comedi-fy a 
standard SuSE 9.0. It's pre-compiled. So, just unpack it in the root dir 
and it should work our of the box.

Please note that the tar ball will overwrite the original kernel in the 
/boot directory and will replace it with the new kernel.

I've attached also the shell script which created the SuSE 9.0 tar ball. 
I'll make tar ball for 9.1 in the near future.
