This won't work well without AX.25 also being in the kernel. BUT it is much much better to use KISS as a module (CONFIG_MKISS=m) instead. mv .config .config.old sed 's/CONFIG_MKISS=y/CONFIG_MKISS=m/' <.config.old >.config make modules make modules-install make bzImage (only needed to rebuild kernel without mkiss in it) ...whatever steps you use to install new kernel ...and update MBR (i.e. run lilo) reboot depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ax25 /sbin/modprobe mkiss kissattach ... I would recommend building a kernel from generic 2.4.19 sources (www.us.kernel.org) rather than RedHat's kernel source rpm unless you need to use RedHat's patches for some non-standard reason. 2.4.19 has some fixes for amateur radio. I hope that helps, -ve1mct
