Thank you very much for the link.. I have built a new bootable kernel 2.6.9-67 on my machine. However I still have a problem :(
During the installation at "make menuconfig" stage after "make oldconfig" I have added the generic HDLC package with synchronous PPP support and saved the new config then run
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log.
After reboot, I rechecked the menuconfig to make sure that the HDLC setting is there. I am not sure if this setting took effect or I have to make modules or build something else. So how would I know that the HDLC package is availalbe and built in?
To elaborate more on the reasons behind this HDLC package, I am trying to build a device driver that asks for HDLC support. upon building the driver, I get the following warnings:
Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST *** Warning: "unregister_hdlc_device" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "hdlc_ioctl" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "hdlc_open" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "register_hdlc_device" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "hdlc_close" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "alloc_hdlcdev" [/home/DS3/wanPTMC-256T3_2_0B/driver/wan256t3.ko] undefined!
Therefore, I am suspecting that I need the HDLC package available. I would be extremely thankful for anybody who can help me in this problem. Am I going into the wrong direction?

No problem.
That request was for CentOS-5, not CentOS-4 :D
? I can see: Category: [CentOS-4] kernel-centosplus My request was exactly for centos 4 branch, but for 5 is good too. So, can i count for You to make it posible in centos4 to support hdlc ?
HDLC was added to the CentOS-5 plus kernel for the latest version.
Sorry about the top posting :(
After reconfiguring the menuconfig to enable the HDLC suport package (under device drivers). I have tried also do:
modinfo hdlc
but i did not get any info in return... Also I have tried :
lsmod
to check for hdlc module but I could not find it... I guess I am missing something to activate my new settings in the menuconfig. Is there a way to verify that my new settings active!! Does any body know about the HDLC modules loading in the 2.6.9. Please advise. And thank you all for your help.
After you rebuild the RPM, you need to install the new RPM you just built.
After that, modinfo should work

Hello,
Thank you for the info, I have installed the rpm and I ended up with the following : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@localhost i686]# rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL is already installed package kernel-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL is already installed package kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL is already installed package kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL is already installed file /boot/System.map-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL from install of kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL file /boot/config-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL from install of kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL file /boot/symvers-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL.gz from install of kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL from install of kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, I was able to reboot with the new kernel but still I can not find o files for my HDLC in the kernel path under driver/net/wan. I am listing below the steps that I did to install a new customized kernel starting from fresh installation of CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9-42
1- getting the kernel: 1.1 access as root 1.2 yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config 1.3 su user 1.4 cd 1.5 mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} 1.6 echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > .rpmmacros 1.7 rpm -i http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL.src.... 2> /dev/null 1.8 cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS 1.9 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log | tee prep-out.log
These so far sound fine. but then I guess there might be a mistake or missing step in my procdure to build the new kernel:
2- building a new kernel: 2.1 access as root 2.2 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log | tee prep-out.log 2.3 su user 2.4 cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.`uname -m` 2.5 cp configs/kernel-2.6.18-i686.config .config 2.6 make oldconfig 2.7 make menuconfig {here I left it as is and did not do any modification since I am planning to include HDLC as a module after build a complete custom kernel} 2.8 [user@host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log 2.9 su 2.10/ rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm
and after the last command I have got the conflict warning above. What is wrong in my installation procedure! :( Please help. /
