Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-19 17:21:25 UTC

What .config file did you use?
And did you do a "make mrproper" before starting to build ?

eg the sequence should be:

make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.4.2-XXXX.config .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules

Comment 2 Przemyslaw Karwasiecki 2001-04-26 02:02:18 UTC

I have the very same problem.

It is happening when I have created new .config file 
with `make menuconfig' and also when I was using
a copy of folowing file:
  kernel-2.4.2-i686.config
from 
  kernel-2.4.2-2.src.rpm

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-26 08:36:10 UTC

Did you do a make mrproper before starting?

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-26 12:23:20 UTC

OH by the way, if you want an athlon kernel, doing

rpm --rebuild --target=athlon kernel-2.4.2-2.src.rpm

will generate a kernel rpm optimised for athlons.

Comment 5 Neal D. Becker 2001-04-26 12:31:03 UTC

It is OK now, I'm not sure if make mrproper fixed it.

BTW, I have avoided --target=athlon previously with RH7.0 because it wasn't 
handled correctly.  I haven't tried it with the kernel, but if you did this
to an arbitrary application it would just cause confusion when rpm thought it 
shouldn't install the package because it was the wrong target.

Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-26 12:32:44 UTC

That is supposed to be fixed.
And for the kernel, we even made a special athlon .config file.

Comment 7 Przemyslaw Karwasiecki 2001-04-26 15:31:56 UTC

Thank you,

make mrproper have fixed it.
