I am completely unsure if I am in the right mailing list at all I was looking for help with kernel compile; googling gives me nothing on this I suspect because my circumstance is rare: I can not do a clean install with an ancient RedHat 7.2 (Enigma) (currently running kernel 2.4.7-10 ) I have incrementally upgraded the gcc to 3.4.6 (but fell short of compiling the latest 4.4.1 gcc) I sucessfully did "make bzImage" and (perhaps) "make modules" (I can see all the newly built *.o objects in the subdirectories) However! When I issue "make modules_install" I get this: ]# make modules_install Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko INSTALL kernel/configs.ko DEPMOD 2.6.30ags1 depmod: /lib/modules/2.6.30ags1/modules.order is not an ELF file make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1 I did build and (seemingly) install "module-init-tools", but I still get the above comment about "module-init-tools", and the weird "modules.order is not an ELF file" error (googling for the latter yields nothing!) Again, apologies if I have misdirected my questions to the wrong mailing list.
