I installed the kernel sources and did a "make menuconfig" I set the file
types fat, VFAT and DOS as built in rather than loadable modules and left
everything as default. I then did "make dep" everything fine, I then did
"make vmlinux" which after a few minutes stopped with error messages
something about IDE not supported under Sparc. I went back into
menuconfig but
I couldn't find anything about IDE support. Any ideas as I am completely
lost.
