when i get unhinting errors -- i guessed something , changed a few params in .config and did make make modules so on
but again same errors .
finally
i copied earlier running kernel's .config into this ...didnot do make menuconfig at all
and in .config changed my required parameter of ext4 to be build as module.
that's all
now make , make modules , make modules_install , make install and
it worked well
now my ques is ...is it right what i am doing ...
if not how to know correct parameter of .config
isnt there some
make <some>config instead of menuconfig
which prepares correct .config file seeing hardware requirement on my pc or working kernel's .config file ...
Please CMIIW anywhere.

these panics (Otherwise you don't need a build symlink in your
/lib/modules/<version>). Did you build the same config ?
