Very Computer

Hello,

I am installing a multi serial port card (FitWin). Its docs. said that
I have to RELINK KERNEL with some paramaters enabled:
CONFIG_SERIAL_EXTENDED,CONFIG_SERIAL_MANY_PORTS,CONFIG_SERIAL_SHAR_IQ

However, I am not sure what they mean by relink? and how can I do
that?

Please help me ..

I am running Redhat 7.1 with kernel 2.2.16-22 on a Pentium computer.

Thanks,
Best regards,
Lam Hoang

I have a ByteRunner (VisionSystems) PCI-400H four-port serial card using
these configuration options.

They mean "recompile the kernel" with these options.  I think the options
are all under the "Character Devices" menu item.

You'll need to

 * obtain the kernel source, if you don't already have it;
 * run `make menuconfig` (or `make xconfig` under X), and select
   the options for the parameters above;
 * compile the kernel;
 * "install" your new kernel using LILO or GRUB or whatever;
 * reboot.

Does this help?

Maybe a RedHat user -- I use a Debian distribution - will comment on any
RedHat requirements.
