After i run the command
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
it starts to process, goes for a while then brings up a few errors. The errors start on this line.
make[6]: *** No rule to make target 'fastdep'. Stop. |

What kernel sources are you using? Save your kernel config to a different file outside the linux directory then do a
It will clean the kernel source then do the make menuconfig ... load your saved config and try again. I have never had to do a make mrproper but I've seen a number of posts that it solved.
If you still have problems then supply more info, more screen output preceding the errror, etc.

| Code: | make menuconfig
# then scroll to the end, you'll see
Save config to alternate file
Load Alternate config
|
That is the easiest way
A good location is /usr/src/your_file_name_choice
If that doesn't work then try re-emerging the sources again, maybe something hickupped the first time.

Just copy the .config file to somewhere other than /usr/src/linux, make mrproper and copy it back, i.e.
| Code: | cp .config ../
make mrproper
cp ../.config . |
