Hello Gents,
If you have any kernel compilation errors it is not safe to boot the computer and you are doing something wrong. I advise you use the following commands, IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST KERNEL COMPILATION.
| Code: |
# make mrproper; make clean; make distclean
# make menuconfig
# make dep
# make clean
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# mount /boot
# cp System.map /boot
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
The most challenging aspect of the kernel compilation is choosing the right options for your kernel during kernel configuration. Try to use as much modules as possible instead of compiling features directly into the kernel. If you need further assistance, be sure to drop by.
Good Luck !

Most Probably, you need to compile the option into the kernel. Check "networking options" there is a bunch of stuff about IP tables, chains and the likes.
Good Luck!
