From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: After updating Linux 7.3 kernel from 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.18-27.7.x (latest at the time) via up2date or by manually downloading from updates.redhat.com, issue #make dep bzImage modules, it fails at cipe and stops. Since the original kernel doesn't have this problem and the latest kernel has this problem, it seems to be the kernel problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Linux 7.3 2.Update kernel from 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.18-27.7.x (the latest at the moment) via up2date or manually by downloading from updates.redhat.com 3.Issue #make dep bzImage modules 4.It stops at cipe during make modules Additional info:
you are missing steps like make mrproper, copying or making a config file and then make oldconfig in your build procedure
I was rebuilding a new kernel after adding Sparse LUN support by adding the correct vendor ID and product ID or the storage device to /usr/src/linux- 2.4/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c. After copying the right config as /usr/src/linux- 2.4/.config I did run #make oldconfig, then issued #make dep bzImage modules modules_install. The exact same steps work with the original kernel (2.4.18-3).
