Hi, I tried ur program in my machine and its working fine. Apart from what u've done I did two more things 1) Copied the config file from the /boot to kernel source directory and done "make menuconfig" 2) Done a make in the kernel source till it compiles the first c file (CC init/main.o). (I've done because to make a link of include/asm->include/asm-i386).
