Kernel 2.4.18 selfmade stops at make modules_install on debian 3.0

["Alexander Bruns" <mailinglisten@mail.ftk.de>]

Hi,

on my debian box the debian-kernel 2.4.18-686 by woody is installed. I
tried to kompile a 2.4.20 kernel, but it fails. Then I tried to
kompile a 2.4.18 myseld, but it fails too.

why does make_modules install not work?

I downloaded the original kernel sources from kernel.org
ant untar.gz it to /usr/src/linux

then i copied /boot/config-2.4.18-686 to /usr/src/linux/.config
and did a make oldconfig

then
make dep OK
make clean OK
make bzImage OK
make modules OK
make modules_install stops with this:

mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.18; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/wan/comx.o
depmod:         proc_get_inode
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1

Whats wring?

Gruss vom Alex
