As long as the .config includes all the moduled needed for all the machines in question. That's basically what a distro kernel does - include all the drivers for all supported hardware, and that's why a distro will usually boot on damn near anything. > I had a Dell Optiplex running OpenSuSE 11.3, KV: 2.6.32 for development > purpose during my college days, > can i use the same config file now on KV: 3.9.10 You really want to do a 'make oldconfig' to update it for all the config variables that got added/changed between .32 and 3.9. > The command > $ make -j 8 > completed sucessfully but > > #make modules_install > > gives the following error > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > ln: target ?Drivers/source? is not a directory That looks suspiciously like in fact the build did *not* complete successfully. If you do a *second* 'make' - does it attempt to rebuild anything? Often an error message will scroll away un-noticed.; And I'm not sure where it got 'Drivers/source' from, that sounds like a busted build or install environment. You didn't have any M= or O= variables that you didn't tell us about, did you?
