 |
|
I was getting an error when trying to recompile the r11 kernel, so I downloaded the later linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r13 kernel sources made a new linux link to the new sources and ran: | Code: | make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install |
But I still get the same error after a while of compiling. | Code: | INSTALL drivers/media/video/videodev.ko
INSTALL fs/xfs/xfs.ko
INSTALL drivers/md/xor.ko
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.7-gentoo-r13; fi
|
I am at a loss at what to do. I'm not sure if its important, but when I ran the menuconfig it seemed to hold the settings that I had used before although I am curious where it would have taken the settings from. |

Post the error, we can't help you if we don't know anything about it.
BTW
with 2.6.x kernels, you only need to do
| Code: | | make && make modules_install |
Try that. If it doesn't work post the error |

Even if I only to make && make modules_install, the error is the same. It is the last line of what I posted above. | Code: | INSTALL drivers/media/video/videodev.ko
INSTALL fs/xfs/xfs.ko
INSTALL drivers/md/xor.ko
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.7-gentoo-r13; fi |
I don't know if it really qualifies as an 'error message' per se, but it is the last thing that is displayed before just dropping back to the bash prompt. |

I don't think that's an error. I recomplied with r-13 last night and I think (again) that you will get that line at the end of modules_install.
I just copied the System.map and bzImage over.
However, I am a noob here  it was a late night and it's pretty early in the morning. Just try copying those two files over as normal (system.map and bzImage) see if it boots up. |

| Will do. I love advice that ends with "see if it boots". |

Actually, there is no bzImage in linux/arch/i386.
Any other ideas? |

There is a file though in one directory deeper.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r13/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
Should I use that one?
Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. |
