To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org In-Reply-To: <20010517183832Z261485-1105+1620@vger.kernel.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi ! It's the first time that i try to compile my own kernel. At the moment, I have an old RH 6.1 with a 2.2.12 kernel. I have downloaded the latest stable kernel 2.4.4 tar.gz kernel. I follow these steps: - make xonfig (a give what i need) - make dep (for dependencies) - make bzImage. All seems OK for these steps. Then - make modules and - make modules_install ==> PROBLEM ! FIRST the message say that no argument -F exist for the command /sbin/depmod. So I change in the Makefile the call if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.4; fi TO if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae System.map 2.4.4; fi AFTER THIS CHANGE, i have the following error: ........ ....... make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/i386/mm' make -C arch/i386/lib modules_install make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/i386/lib' cd /lib/modules/2.4.4; \ mkdir -p pcmcia; \ find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae System.map 2.4.4; fi can't open /lib/modules/System.map/modules.dep I check, and there is no file or directory named /lib/modules/System.map or directory!
