Hello, I wanted to know the ways in which I can compile linux kernel 2.6 on redhat 7.0. I tried to compile the kernel and load essential packages but I am getting lots of errors while compiling the kernel and loading the packages. 1) First to be listed would be the following, when i do make clean or make mrproper in the linux 2.6.12 source code. /bin/sh: invalid character 46 in exportstr for CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds I found this error to be for older version of bash, but now I have installed bash 3.0 though the error is still there. 2) When I do make menuconfig, things work fine. 3) next step is make and which gives following error: /tmp/ccWmbREf.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccWmbREf.s: 4: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: '.incbin' make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.o] Error 1 make : *** [usr] Error 2. I know this is the mailing list for redhat 7.2, but I thought you might help. I have upgraded few packages which include gcc 3.4 and bash. I am trying to upgrade binutils2.15, e2fsprogs-1.35 and module-init-tools but all of them give some error. 1) while compiling e2fsprogs-1.35, the errors are: make [2]: *** [unix.o] Error 1 make [2]: Leaving directory /home/e2fsprogs-1.35/e2fsck make [1]: *** [all-progs-recursive] Error 1 make [1]: Leaving directory /home/e2fsprogs-1.35 make: *** [all] Error 2 As much of the development is done on Redhat7, I need to update the packages on it to make 2.6 kernel work. Am I doing something wrong somewhere? Thanks and Regards, Nupur -- Fedora-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-tools-list
