    Subject: Suse 7.0: Problems with kernel configuration and compilation
    

    Dear all,

    I am currently trying to install Suse 7.0 on a Sun Ultra 1.
    As I do need autofs-support in the kernel, I have to compile the
    kernel. However, when I invoke "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig",
    I get some errors when compiling "stdio.h" and "libio.h".

    When I use "make oldconfig", I happen to get a new kernel and
    the autofs-support does work, however, the standard-console looks
    strange (black on white in a reduced portion of the screen, with
    the borders showing text of old sessions) and X doesn't work
    any longer. Additionally, the kernel is more than twice as big
    as the pre-compiled kernel (vmlinuz64 in /boot on CD1).

    Therefore, I would like to ask the following two questions:
    1.) Does somebody know, how to repair compilation of the standard
        header files in order to get the menu- or X-kernel-configuration
        to work?
    2.) Does somebody have a configuration file for the pre-compiled
        kernel of the CD, as the only thing I would like to add to this
        is the autofs support.

    I would appreciate any hint, thanks for your help,

    Guenter
