Hi,

I am having problems compiling the kernel. At first I thought there
were problems with the inclusion of a PS/2 mouse but changing it to a
serial mouse does not help. I copied the kernel sources from the
2nd CD and created a new configuration file. (config NEW, then cd
./../compile/NEW, then make)
However this new kernel echoes the login name when typed in and
refuses to run an xterm (error msg is "inappropriate ioctl for
device")
Also when I do a "w" I get a response as if no one is logged in.
I have included the kernel config file below. Can anyone tell
me what I have missed out and is causing the problems?
