kristoffer - You need to type "make dep" for 2.4.x kernels, but not for the 2.5.x kernels. In fact, if you do so, you get a message *** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now. Another useful command is "make oldconfig". The idea is to start with the .config from some previous version of the kernel. Then "make oldconfig" will take its answers from the old config file if possible, and ask you only for options that didn't appear there. I will also note that it took me quite a few tries to get a 2.5.x kernel that worked. There seemed to be quite a few new config options I needed to enable to get what I would regard as a "standard kernel", for example CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y If you want to work with a developmental kernel, I think you can expect some failed boots before you figure out a configuration that works. - Jim Van Zandt Christian Schoepplein <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: >On Don, Jun 26, 2003 at 12:09:00 +0200, Doug wrote: >> >> You can't just type "make" after running the config. >> After doing the "make config" or "make menuconfig" >> then you need to do this (in /usr/src/linux) >> >> make bzImage (to build the kernel) >> make modules (to build the kernel modules) >> make modules_install (to install the modules) > >You've forgot one thing. Before "make bzImage" he should do a "make >dep" to solve all dependences.
