Try running make localmodconfig after running make menuconfig. The former
command finds out all the currently loaded kernel modules, device drivers
etc and ensures that all the config options necessary for them are set in
the .config file.

you need to do "make modules" after doing "make"

Hi,

I am trying to install an extra vanilla kernel on Fedora 13. The Fedora 13
runs on vmware virtual machine.
I installed it using and iso of live cd. A 'uname -r' gives the version as
2.6.33-85.fc13.i686.

The kernel version I am trying to install is 2.6.38.8

I am following these steps :

- Download kernel source and unzip it
- make menuconfig (Saved the config)
- make
- make modules_install
- make install

However as soon as i do a 'make install ' an error message appears saying :

"ERROR:modinfo:could not find module i2c_core"

I could find the options for i2c in the config menu and enabled some of them
but didn't help.
Could anyone please tell me how to debug this error ? I  have tried the same
thing on Fedora 14 earlier and there was
no such problem.

Thanks
Vaibhav Jain

Hi,

This is related to the problem below.
Can anybody please tell me how to find out which modules would required to
be
compiled and installed before installing a vanilla kernel.
I followed the steps in the email below, this time for Fedora 14 but it
threw an error for some
other module which I knowingly did not compile.I need to know which modules
should not
be left while compiling and installing a vanilla kernel.

Thanks

try to re-use your Fedora kernel config (usually located in /boot with
name like config-2.6.33-85.fc13.i686): copy that file to the directory
where you unpack the new kernel source and rename that as .config then
run "make oldconfig". The rest is the same.

PS: I have been told by few friends that now you can use "make
localmodconfig". This command will try to guess which options need to
be enabled based on current loaded kernel modules.
