Doing just "make config" you have to turn on all the correct stuff that the system needs. Best to start with the Red Hat config. > # make dep > # make clean > # make bzImage > # make modules > # make modules_install ( this is where the error appears) > ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory > make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 > # > > I read the man pages and it suggests that the directory it should > "make_install" is /lib/modules/2.4.*/ > My new kernel will be called 2.4.18-3no-pcmcia-cs so I tried: Did you edit the top level makefile (in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3) and change EXTRAVERSION to be -3no-pcmcia-cs ? that's the correct way to change this. Then all the files will be installed correctly in /boot and /lib/modules.
