Marc,
Please post the error about what file it cannot find. Also, you should not be
running 'make install'. Take a look at the README in the /usr/src/linux directory.
You should be running:
make mrproper
make config (or menuconfig or xconfig)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
Again, look at the readme.
