Kernel compiling on Linux 2.1 AS

Apr 28, 2005 11:18PM PDT

I am trying to compile Kernel on Linux 2.1 AS server with 2.4.9-e.3 smp kernel.
To compile i am using make oldconfig to retrive config from existing original kernel.
But I could not find .config file in /usr/src/linux 2.4.9-e.3 folder.
is there any alternative config file name for this kernel config in Redhat 2.1 AS?

Or is there any another way to compile SCSI drivers with new kernel?

Pls suggest

There is no need to compile kernel on modern versions Wink
There are already many compiled modules and they load automatically when needed.
