I copied kernel-i686.config into /usr/src/linux-2.4 from configs in /usr/src/linux-2.4. Gcc-2.96-80 was used, and in /usr/src/linux is linux-2.4.3-ac3 which I also compiled with gcc-2.96-80. I am unable to compile kernel-source-2.4.2-0.1.49. I did this recompiling because I would like to use pIII kernel.
Can you please specify 1) What commands you used to recompile your kernel 2) Give the error-message !!!!!
Created attachment 14783 [details] log file of compilg make module
I used make dep bzimage modules. used make oldconfig to migrate data from configs/kernel-2.4.2.i686. It fails when using make modules make bzImage works fine.
I fail to see the error in the make modules output maybe there was an error before you started the output.... could you give the full log?
make[ 2]: *** loop.o error 1 make 2 leaving /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/block make[1] ***[_modsubdir_block] Error 2 make[1] ** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2, it then stops to compile, make bzimage works fine but nor make modules.
I mange to compile it under linux-2.4.3-ac3, I had to reinstalled it to get it to compile.
Did you say "make mrproper" at the beginning?
no, make oldconfig but I used now make mrproper, then copied config from configs, make oldconfig, make dep bzImage modules modules_install. I used make oldconfig to use your config for i686 kernel.
