kernel compilation problem 1

[Themuppeteer]

Hello,

as possible solution to my freeze problem of my previous question, I'm gonna try to use the newest kernel 2.4.20 .
I've downloaded it from the net,then I did

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make install
make modules_install

and make modules_install gives me the following error:

cp: cannot stat 'dummy.o' : No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make[2] Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/net'
make[1] *** [_modinst_net] Error 2
make[1] Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-hydra/drivers'
make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2

Whats going on ? Greetz,

These are the steps I used to compile it.

make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage

I'm pretty sure its not the steps that are wrong.
Its how I configure my kernel in make menuconfig (in your case xconfig). I'm experimenting with it now. I found that that 'dummy' was selected as module. So I turned it off and turned some other suff on. Well, the other stuff gives errors now but not the dummy anymore. But I'm working on it.
I think I'll get there now.

Thanks for your reply! Greetz,

You're doing the compilation right. There are several kernel options that depend on each other and it's not always clear.

I see no make modules in your post, which is why it wouldn't find the object files... //Daniel
