Fedora Core 2 build problem

Hello all,

I successfully installed Fedora Core 2 onto my Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. I ran "make menuconfig" in the "/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build" directory and chose a couple cryptology options (to set up my wireless card). But when I ran "make" to re-compile the kernel to add the options, I get this error:

Code:
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
  CHK     include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2

I looked for the "main.o" file using the "whereis" command but could not find it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Jisoo23
 
I'm not sure, this is the default kernel that came with the installation so I assume all packages are there (RedHat/Fedora is usually pretty good about checking for dependencies). I haven't really seen this sort of error before. Maybe if I upgrade to 2.6.7?
