well you did a make install before make modules_install... that's not good since make install needs the modules installed ;(
I swear, I've used the sequence make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install successfully in the past. I copied it from somewhere; I'm not capable of making this up. :-) However, your logic is impeccable. So I repeated the experiment with make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install install and everything worked perfectly. Item-by-item: 1) The new modules directory was automatically created - /lib/modules/2.4.18-14nPb 2) There were no complaints about devlist.h or classlist.h. 3) The initrd-2.4.18-14nPb.img was correctly made and it boots. 4) There are still 5691 warning messages, but as I said, they're only warnings. Sadly, my pcmcia adapter still doesn't work, so I have no wireless communication. I still get bind 'orinoco_cs' to socket 0 failed: Operation not permitted but that someone else's problem, I guess. I withdraw this bugzilla report. Thanks, arjanv
