Compiling kernels
Dear all!
I've possibly asked this one before but have not got any where, and am still
puzzeled as to how to dort this one out!
The problem is that my kernels refuse to install. I have downloaded the
kernels from ftp.kernel.org, unpacked them. Configured them using menuconfig,
and then cleaned using make-kpkg clean. I then compile using make-kpkg
--revision-custom.1.0 kernel_image as per the instructions.
Then I use dpkg -i kernel-image....deb
When installing, I get unresolved symbols on EVERY module that is to be
installed. Upon looking inside the modules I can see nothing that references
any files that don't exist and so am left wondering what on earth is going
wrong.
The last kernel that I was able to compile was 2.4.0-test5, which was
available as a .deb in the woody dist, and what I am currently using. I'm
therefore wondering whether there is some action I need to perform on the
downloaded sources to prepare them for comilation using kpkg.
I hope someone somewhere could help me out here.
Matthew
