Recently I upgrade my kernel from 1.2.0 to 1.3.24 using gcc 2.6.3 (from
the Slackware 2.2.0 distribution). Everything seems fine except that,
when booting, it displays the following error message:
/bin/setterm: could not find termcap entry for Linux.
And because of that, I have to set the terminal environment myself.
So, how should I modify the termcap and the profile files ( I use bash)
to eliminate this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Add another alias to the /etc/termcap entry for `console':
console|linux|con80x25|dumb:\
...etc...
And make sure that you have this link:
% ls -alF /usr/lib/terminfo/c/console
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 14 05:38 /usr/lib/terminfo/c/console -> ../l/linux
% ls -alF /usr/lib/terminfo/l/linux
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1347 Jan 19 1995 /usr/lib/terminfo/l/linux
Cheers

1. Kernel 1.3.24 reports version 1.3.22
I've noticed something odd. I got and compiled the source for kernel
1.3.24 and it runs fine. But I noticed my /etc/issue and /etc/motd
kept reporting that I was running 1.3.22, even if I changed it
manually and rebooted. So I did a 'uname -a' and got kernel 1.3.22.
So I looked at the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h file and it
says 1.3.22
So, was the source file mis-named or did some files just not get
changed between patchlevels that should have been changed?
