Error while compiling kernel

[Holmes, Steve]

I installed kbd from the A8 disk series and loadkeys was placed in one of
the bin directories; I verified that with "which loadkeys".  I've since been
able to compile the kernel all the way through now without errors.  One
thing to note though, after installing kbd, I had to start over again with
the kernel recompile as the dependencies apparently changed.  Now, I'm in
the midst of just getting the new kernel to boot! My last attempt failed.
I've compiled kernels in the past without much trouble but this time, I
guess I got the wrong combinations of configs or something but the machine
won't boot up at all with that kernel so on to more trial/error <sigh>.

Hmmm... after sending my comment I checked for my loadkey program and
could not find it on my Slackware 7.1 system either, although I have
installed kbd as I suggested. However my 2.2.18 compile did not seem to
mind its absence. In an earlier upgrade I solved the missing loadkey
problem by installing kbd, but apparently the co;ntext has now changed in
Slackware 7.1. I will be interested to hear how you solve your problem.
