[hcflinux] Comipling Kernel of Linuxant in FC3

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

first of all, for the HCF PCI driver, you probably do not need a 16K 
stack kernel as it will probably work fine with a 8K stack kernel (or 4K 
in Fedora Core 2 and 3). Did you tried to use the HCF PCI driver with 
your current kernel?

For the kernel source code, I assume that you are using Fedora Core 1 or 
3 and you have attempted to install one of our 16K stack kernel in the 
SRC.RPM format. You don't need to compile the kernel as we offer 
pre-compiled RPM packages for these 16K stack kernel which are also 
available from the Fedora Core kernel download pages at:

Fedora Core 2 i586:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i586.php

Fedora Core 2 i686:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php

Fedora Core 3 i586:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-fc3-kernel-i586.php

Fedora Core 3 i686:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-fc3-kernel-i686.php

If you really want to compile the 16K kernel, which is expected to be 
done only by advanced users, please install the SRC.RPM file with the 
'rpm -i' command in a root shell and then please run the following 
commands to generate pre-compiled RPM packages:

---
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.6.spec --target i586   # To generate i586 kernels
rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.6.spec --target i686   # To generate i686 kernels
---
