2.4.31 kernel source / .config

Question

Hi,
Please forgive me if this is posted somewhere.
I need to build that pesky new e1000 module from Intel and I can't find the
2.4.31 .config for zfd 4.0.1 ir7 anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can find it? I dont have a lot of time to spend
on this, but I also don't want to replace this kernel with my own.
Thanks,
-Brian

I read it in another thread IIRC.. you don't really need the config files..

Ok, so I have gotten my boot disk to work following the process below,
which is kind of a sampling of other peoples stuff out there, which I hope
to give credit for when I'm all done here.....
I have not tested the PXE boot, only the bootcd.iso
Download the 2.4.22 Linux Kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...2.4.22.tar.bz2
unpack the Source
tar xvfj linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
enter the directory created
cd linux-2.4.22
Download the 2.4.22-ac4 patch.
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...le/alan/linux-
2.4/2.4.22/patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2
Uncompress the patch
bunzip2 patch-2.4.22-ac4.bz2
Download the Novell ZENworks Kernel Patch
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/...dimgkrnlpatch-
2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz
Unpack the file
tar xvfz zfdimgkrnlpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.tgz
Change the Kernel version
sed 's/2.4.18/2.4.22/' <zenpatch-2.4.18-4.0-p1.patch > zenpatch-
2.4.22.patch
Apply the Patches
patch -p0 < zenpatch-2.4.22.patch
patch -p1 < patch-2.4.22-ac4
Configure the Kernel
make menuconfig
I went in and did the following
Processor Type and Features ->
No to Math Emulation
SCSI Support ->
SCSI low-level drivers->
Yes to SATA Support
USB Support ->
---USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
Yes to USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
Yes to HID input Layer Support (NEW)
Exit and Save the configuration
Run the following
make clean ***Note Novell Recommends this***
make dep
make bzImage ***Note Case does matter on the I***
make modules
make modules_install
Get the ZENDist package
wget http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/...ist-4.0-p1.tgz
tar zxvf zendist-4.0-p1.tgz
cd /usr/src/build
../buildImages.s
Copy the 2.4.22 kernel and modules over to our build area....
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/boot/bzImage bootdisk/firstdisk/kernel
cp -r /lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4 bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules
Remove old stuff
rm -rf bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.18
../buildImages.s
Copy the BroadCom Driver from the Forge site into
the /build/bootdisk/thirddisk/lib/modules/2.4.22-ac4/kernel/drivers/net
directory and then redo the
../buildImages.s
This will add-in the BroadCom drivers for the GX280 computer.
***NOTE*** I had to run the GX280 SATA drive in Compatability mode in the
BIOS, otherwise the drive did not show under the img dump ******
I should also note here that the hdparm command does nto work with this.
Imaging my Windows XP image took about 6 minutes though.
I also did the 2.4.22 kernel because there is a compiled BroadCom driver
on the Forge site.
And from Roy Erez...
So... SATA isn't supported by this trick on the Gx280 machines.
The only way I could get SATA to work in "normal" (not "compatibility")
mode in these machines was using the 2.4.28 kernel.
As of kernel 2.4.27 SATA is merged into the kernel source tree so you
don't need Alan Cox's patch to enable SATA.
This only patches I applied to my kernel were the zen patch and a
broadcom 57xx patch (had to change the version string in this one).
Although ICH6 isn't yet fully supported it does work in a "Looks like
ICH5" mode and I'm able to successfully take and put an image in "normal
" sata mode.
As to USB keyboard support - after trying several combinations I think
it's better to compile HID support using HIDBP rather than the full HID
layer - the only HID feature needed in the imaging environment is
keyboard support and HIDBP handles it well enough.
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on
