u can find such antique pieces still running in so called "next gen" computer institutes around the country
@nitish:do u want a custom compiled kernel?I can compile one and upload.but cant gurantee 100% that it will solve ur problem.

 

[praka123]

^why? it is rather a blunder u said!

 

[mehulved]

Are u serious mehulved???????
Ya i wll get rid of it..maybe in a month or two!!!!!!!!

I am really serious. I am very much interest in having that computer. Lots of things I can do with it. I can build a nice little gateway on it.

@praka123
I have still not tried the instruction frm tht ubuntu forum thng which mehulved gave, just down the zip file!
Wht wll b the size of kernel u wll upload coz I m on Home 250 plan n ya I have series of engg exams ( VIT on 19th ,Manipal on 24th, AIEEE on 27th n SRM on 4th)

@mehulved
You can have the pc if I get a new one... How wll I ship it to Mumbai??

 

[praka123]

Just try it out. You will just need to follow the instructions. If it doesn't work then try the kernel prakash gives. Take your time, studies are important too
About shipping the PC, I will have to check around. But, you still have time for it so let my exams finish.

Hey..After a long break I tried it...
The readme just asked to give the normal make n make install command!

As Soon as I issued the make command I gt this message

***Linux kernel source not configured-Missing config.h stop!

Even tried gvng make install directly but gt the same error msg.
I gt three files after the extraction of the tar files i.e makefile,readme n sc92031.c

So I even tried compiling the .c file(just a wild guess frm me!) gv the command
gcc sc92031.c
I gt screenful of message with warnings,errors etc etc but it was ntng gr8...i could see no change!

Install the kernel-sources packages.

 

[nitish_mythology]

It might b easy fr u...but nt fr me......may i know the complete procedure for doing so?????????

 

[praka123]

Que: Do you want Silan supported kernel compiled for you?
assuming you are on Ubuntu.

 

[QwertyManiac]

It might b easy fr u...but nt fr me......may i know the complete procedure for doing so?????????

I forgot what it'd be like in Ubuntu, but try doing a double tab on:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-<your kernel version, or double tab>

 

[nitish_mythology]

Ya if i dont make it the other way...seems u wll have to do it!
N ya pls do tell me the instructions as I m a beginner!

@Qwerty
This wont work as I cant access net..thts why i m trying to install the DRIVERS!

Um sorry, I think maybe you can get it installed offline. You will need the build-essential as a dependency though, install that from the CD/DVD.

Darn, a month away from Ubuntu and I'm feeling so strange already, heh.

 

[mehulved]

Prakash it will be better if you can do it for him. If I get enough time I can compile one. Nitish give the output of lspci and lsusb.

 

[nitish_mythology]

hmm..k i wll post the output..lets see if I can burn a cd and transfer the output as a text file else I wll have to manually copy the entire thing!

 

[praka123]

I can do it for Ubuntu only!

 

[nitish_mythology]

ya u dont have to worry....I m on UBUNTU!!!!
