 |
|
well, the first time i compiled the kernel (during gentoo installation), things went fine but my network card module wasn't being initialized due to some unresolved symbol errors.
So my speculation was that I needed to turn off SMP support (since I only have one processor). so I went into make menuconfig, turned it off, then tried compiling it using "make dep && ..." but it errors out somewhere in the middle.
is there a command I need to run to "clean up" before I recompile? |

to answer my own question...
you should do the following:
cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config /tmp/.config
make mrproper
cp /tmp/.config .
make menuconfig (save and exit)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
In my case, I had to remove smp support for my ethernet card (d-link 530-tx+ using 8139too module) to work |
