3. Remake new kernel

   P.S: You must install your Linux system by developmental environment
        and include kernel source first.

  *               Edit the following files 
  *   for compile the kernel that embed Tekram SCSI drivers

  ;  you colud use command: find / -name *.rej
  ;  to find any rejection file.
  ;
  ;  If there were any "*.rej" created after this procedure,
  ;  you need to edit those files (Makefile,Confiig.in,hosts.c,proc_fs.h)
  ;  by yourself.
  ;  You could reference "pMChp2_0_*" & "*.rej" contand before edit those files.
