why don't you just do a make modules_install ? maybe it just needs the presence of such a fileHello,
I tried what u guys suggested.
Instead of using "make install" script to do all the new kernel installation, I copied ~mydir/arc/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/vmlinuz, copied ~mydir/System.map to /boot (or made a soft link to /boot/System.map).
When I boot however, it goes upto "initalizing swap space [OK] and then then says: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/mykernel-version.....
regardless of wether your kernel is modular or not.... atleast, if nothing else , to ensure that there are no module
dependencies.....
But why does a monolithic kernel try to "open" a "modules" related file? I guess I need to play around with the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and remove the lines related to "probing"... I did try a bit of that too earlier but only made things worse.
I never had these problems with compiling modular kernels.
