I finally got to where I compile the kernel
i run genkernel all
and I get this:

GenKernel v3.0.1_beta4-3
* ARCH: x86
* KERNEL VER: 2.4.22-gentoo-r5
* kernel: configuring source
* kernel: running mrproper
* kernel: using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.4
* kernel: running oldconfig
* kernel: running clean
* kernel: Making dependencies for linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5
* kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 bzImage
* kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 modules
* gen_die(): compile of modules failed

I am not sure if I am missing a step here.
Anyone have a solution?

batrix,

I'm not a genkernel user but I have heard mixed reports of it.
I don't see a
Code:
make dep

One day, you will need to roll your own kernel, so you may as well start now.

The steps are:-
Code:
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

If you are taking things out of the kernel a
Code:
make clean
can be added right at the beginning.

Look in the readme in /usr/src/linux for all the gory detail. Now make a lot of coffee and spend an hour or two with make menuconfig. The first few times you do this, you wll need to read the help. When you have done it a few times, you will know what you are looking for.

what version of genkernel are you running?

do you know what modules you need?

if so, just do it the old fashioned way :D
