Dear sir,
I used Linux RedHat 7.2. My kernel is 2.4.7-10smp.
I want to modify file below to make new kernel.
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/st_options.h

But don"t have "st_optioms.h" in my system.
Please let me know how to solve this problem.
Thank you very much.
regards,
Somsak.

Any reason why you're running such an old kernel? Linux 2.4.22 was
released a couple of weeks ago, and I'm guessing that 2.4.23 won't be
too far off.

My suggestion,

1. Grab Linux 2.4.22 from ftp.kernel.org, and extract the source
into /usr/src

2. Copy your config file into the /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 directory
(as .config). You'll probably find it in
/boot/config-2.4.7-10smp or something like that. Simply run:

cp /boot/config-2.4.7-10smp /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/.config

3. Run the usual commands:
make mrproper oldconfig dep bzImage modules modules_install

4. Dump your kernel image into /boot and reconfigure your bootloader
(/etc/lilo.conf will be worth a look here).

cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/boot/bzImage \
/boot/vmlinuz-new

5. Boot the kernel, give it a try. If it works fine, then you can make
it your default kernel.

Make sure you have kernel-source installed (I'd also strongly advise
you to update to the errata packages for 7.2 if you can).
