it works for everybody else... Let me correct something here. First I do a make mrproper. Then I do the following: make dep > dep.txt which dumps the normal stuff into the file and only displays the errors. The errors are: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.7.x/include/asm: No such file or directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.7.x/include/math-emu: No such file or directory This should be fixed before moving on, correct? no make dep is just a simple dependency generator. not all includes exist for all architectures, but make dep has no knowledge of the #ifdef's in the code for that.... so it prints out a few of these, safe to ignore Today I ignored the make dep errors, did a make clean and then compiled the kernel. Afterwards I did a make modules followed by a make modules_install. Some errors appeared with some of the modules but we don't use those modules. The machine was rebooted and appears to be OK. Let me close by saying that this is the first time any errors of any kind were noticed in compiling a new kernel. The only reason we have to compile it in the first place is to add the "boot off-board chipsets first" option. |
