New Kernel with Speakup and ZIPSPEAK

[Igor Gueths]

Hi. Another thing you can do is to do make oldconfig, and then edit the
.config file in the current directory as you wish. I had the same problem
with the kernel panic and not being able to mount the root filesystem. To
fix this, don't compile the driver that has support for only one ide
controller. This, in this case, would be /dev/ide0 is supported only. If
you are compiling a 2.4.18 or 2.4.17 kernel, the question will begin like:
"Please see /Documentation/ide.txt." Say n to this question, as this will
compile the driver that has support for multiple ide controllers. If you
have an ide floppy, hd, and Cdrom drive, you will have an ide0 and ide1.
This happens to be my setup as well. Hope this helps.
