Hi,
I cannot get either 2.5.48 or 2.5.49 to compile. My steps are:
cd ~/kernel/
tar xvzf linux-2.5.49.tar.gz
cd linux-2.5.49
make mrproper
make config - (output below), choosing all default options except for
processor type
make dep - which fails with following output:
Generating include/linux/version.h (updated)
Making asm->asm-i386 symlink
SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
Starting the build. KBUILD_BUILTIN=1 KBUILD_MODULES=
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `include/linux/modversions.h'.
'make config' produced the following output:

...etc
So the problem seems to be that the MODVERSIONS option isn't picked up
by kconfig but 'make dep' looks for it anyway and falls over. I've tried
fiddling with the configuration options (added modversions in manually,
changed the module options etc.) but always had the same result. This
wasn't a problem up to 2.5.47, but the last two kernels both behave the
same way. And I've tried it on two different machines with exactly the
same result. What's even more puzzling to me is that nobody else seems
to be having this problem since I can't find any reference on lkml,
here, or anywhere else on the net. So I must be making some weirdly
stupid mistake. Could somebody please tell me what it is?
Thanks muchly,
Marc
