can't compile kernel

[Adrian Zaugg <adi@geo.unizh.ch>]

Dear List

Now for many attempts I'm trying to compile a 2.4.x Kernel for my system
and I fail. At some point during make modules the process stops with an
error (see below). I'm using make-kpkg and downloaded the source from
the Debian archive. My system is a woody on rawhide (7305) and I would
like to use all memory (not just 2GB) and SMP. (The standard SMP-Kernel
doesn't boot, because of an error like /lib/modules/2.4.18-smp/modules.dep
not found. I tried to fix this with no luck. That's why I tried to compile
myself.) Both, with the sources of 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 I had no success.

The last lines before stopping are: 

if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b
/usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image -r 2.4.20; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.o
depmod:         plat_node_data
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20'
make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20'

I guess (I don't really understand a lot) it has to do with the "NUMA
Support" in the "General Setup" of the kernelconfiguration. Do I really need
this support on my system (the help text says something of "high-end
multiprocessor server machines")? 

On X86-Systems I could compile several kernels successfully. Is there
anything to do differently on alphas, or is it basically the same
procedure?

In the attachement you can find my kernel config file. Any help would be
appreciated!


Thank you, Adrian.
