I actually did do step 6, just left it out of my initial message.
So here is what I did now:
I edited the Makefile and added 'smp' to 'EXTRAVERSION='. I ran
'make mrproper'. Then I ran 'make xconfig'. I selected 'load from
file' and I loaded the config file
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-31.9/configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config.
I then did a 'save and exit'.
At the 'make modules' step, the compile bombed on the decnet module.
So I re-ran 'make xconfig' and turned off decnet. Then re-ran 'make
dep', 'make clean', 'make bzImage', and 'make modules'. Now at the
'make modules_install' step I get this:
cd /lib/modules/2.4.28smp; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{}
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.28smp; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.28smp/kernel/crypto/autoload.o
depmod: crypto_alg_lookup
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.28smp/kernel/crypto/proc.o
depmod: crypto_alg_sem
depmod: crypto_alg_list
Help please.
