sm0 and 2.4.18 kernel

	I'm wanting to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.18 (from 2.2.16)

	I seem to remember reading somewhere that the AX25 

stuff doesn't run on these more recent kernels. Is this true ?

I've built a 2.4.18 kernel here and tried booting it but it
came up with all sorts of errors concerning sm0, and it's so long ago since I installed all this sound modem stuff I can't remember what's responsible for this device.

So two questions..
1) Will the Ax25 utils etc run OK on a 2.4.18 kernel
2) Why is the kernel complaining about sm0 - it says it can't locate the module sm0 - but the module isn't actually called that from what I remember.

In brief I simply took the old .config file from the running
2.2.16 system, and saved it prior to doing a make dep, etc

I'm not using the soundmodem driver, but that module is sm.o. I have seen several suggestions to use the user mode soundmodem binary rather than the kernel module. There is probably a link to that at
<http://radio.linux.org.au>.

I believe that AX.25 had some problems with early 2.4.x kernels, but I have run 2.4.20 through 2.4.26 with no problems. I recommend that you use 2.4.26, rather than 2.4.18.

When using an old .config file, it is usually a good idea to run 'make oldconfig', which will ask you about newer options.
