make bootimage and make bootpfile not working

[Riccardo Vestrini]

I tried many times to obtain a network-bootable kernel 
image both with kernel 2.6.7 and 2.4.26, but I always got 
link errors while executing make bootpfile and make 
bootimage

at last I succeded building a bootpzfile with 2.6.7, but I 
had to comment printk function in lib/dump_stack.c

If someone is interested and can understand kernel 
programming more than me I can submit the error messages

bye all

----------- EXTRA INFO ---------
$ make bootpzfile

this works fine, but I had to modify file lib/dump_stack.c 
this (ugly) way commenting printk, otherwise I got link 
errors

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
void dump_stack(void)
{
//      printk(KERN_NOTICE
//              "This architecture does not implement 
dump_stack()\n");
}

--- kernel 2.4.26 ---
in the last minute I was able to make bootpfile, make 
bootpzfile and make bootimage correctly with kernel 
2.4.26,
but I had to comment out calls to printk in 
lib/dump_stack.c and lib/vsprintf.c

otherwise I got link errors, complaining that printk was 
undefined

I used almost the same .config than with 2.6



I will post exact error message after a recompilation ...
