I'm running unstable on a Pentium 2 machine, kernel 2.4.18.
I downloaded the kernel-source-2.6.8 deb package today, updated my

make[2] [modins_post] Error 1
make[1] [real_stamp_image] Error 2
Where did you get them? Was this the only output? How did you go about
compiling the kernel? What modifications did you make to the config
file?
David (and the list),
In the hope that it might be useful, I've attached the config file.
The last compiled files in the process before the error messages,
according to the screen output, were in the sound section. If you have
ideas for any other output that might be useful, please tell me how to
obtain it and I'll be happy to attemp a recompile and send it to you.
I was actually hoping to get a few answers to the questions I asked :)
Lets start with a play-by-play of your kernel compilation process. What
commands did you type from the point where you thought "i'm going to
compile a kernel" to the point where you saw the above errors?
Then, once you saw the errors, did you attempt to determine what they
meant? If so, what did you do?
The config file is better than nothing, but is not too useful, since I
dont know what *changed* between the original config file and your
current one.
If you want to get the output from a compile or any other command that
produces output, try the following:
mycommand 2>&1 > /path/to/your/favorite/file
this will redirect everything that usually gets sent to your console to
the file that you specified.
