Kernel-Compiling and Installation 2.4.20 on Woody 3.0r1
Hi, Debian-interested community,
a downloaded kernel 2.4.20 I provided to re-compile for adapting my HW-environment
on a Debian 3.0r1-system (Intel 166 MMX);
the first compiling and installation ran well.
The needed following compilings and installations of this kernel
unfortunately now shows some failures and back settings:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20
fakeroot make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --config=menuconfig kernel-image
make menuconfig obscuriously will be skipped, the make-command only
runs for a short time and did end with following messages:
make [4]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/kernel'
make [3]: ***[_sfdep_kernel] Error 2
make [3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20'
make [2]: ***[dep-files] Error 2
make [2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20'
make [1]: ***[dummy_do_dep] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.20'
make: *** [stamp-kernel-configure] Error 2
If I do now at first
make menuconfig
an then
make-kpkg kernel-image
the compiling-routine and the creation of the Debian-kernel-packet will be completed properly without visible warning-messages.
Going to install the Debian-kernel-packet by
apt-get install /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.20_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
following error-message occurs:
E: Release 'kernel-image-2.4.20_10.00.Custom_i386' for 'python-zlib' was not found
Trying to install alternatively this Debian-kernelpacket with
dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.20_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
won't succeed too.
A quick view at the messages this morning told me about problems with modules,
and an info were given that modules will be moved to another directory but I don't
remember further details exactly now.
Does anyone know what's wrong here and what I can do to proceed/succeed the
kernel-compiling and installation ?
Many thanks,
cheerio
Christoph
