Hi guys. I thought I'd try my hand at a kernel compile again as I've nowgot a bit of spare time. my problem is, I keep getting errors says something like main initerror or something like th at. I can't plst the logs because I've deleted them all in an attempt to start all over again. with a clean source. I do however have the .config file if any of you would like to see it to see if I'm at least on the right track as far as the basics go. and yes I know that every system is different but surely there are some commonalities.
