From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Description of problem: I need to build modules for lp, parport and ppa to use my ZIP drive and printer. Using kernel 2.4.18-14, I do a bzImage compile. I need try to compile the modules using "make modules" The first module that is attempted to becompiled is the lp module from /drivers/char. I get numerous warning messages but I will attach the modules.out file with all of the error messages Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Build bzImage kernel with parport, lp, and scsi/ppa set as modules 2.attempt to make modules after kernel compile is finished 3. Actual Results: Received error messages about invalid suffix on integer constant and parse error before numeric constant Additional info: RH 8.0 was obtained from mirror site and disks were checked before installation
Created attachment 82164 [details] Output from trying to compile modules
looks like you forgot a "make mrproper" as very first step
Using mrproper fixed the problem however, it was not obvious from the documentation that I looked at
