Mandrake 8.1 distro

[Ron Marriage]

I had installed as XFS file system.
Mandrake by default does an ext2, but I think I did install
for that and other journilized systems.

Yes, ran lilo and it boots but stops with the errors.

I have been told I can't do  make oldconfig, because
mandrake uses a customized kernel and includes many options
not found in a standard source kernel.
If anyone knows differently about this, I'd appreciate
knowing about it.

Thanks
Ron
