Hardware: Sun e250, 2cpus OS: Debian 3.0r1 Current kernel: 2.1.19 Im trying to compile the 2.4.20 kernel, and have reached the end of my capabilities. I know of only two ways to do it and they both fail. Thanks in advance to anyone who can fix the flaw in my logic or show me how to complete this:
1) Debian kernel builder tool (make-kpkg - revision=new2.4.20.1 kernel_image) I de-select almost all of the modules, and only keep a few but when the compile is going on, it complains at the pcmcia undefined symbol section, (even though I have not asked for any pcmcia support. I noticed it including joystick and other items that I said no to during the interactive session of the builder tool.) 2) compile by hand. (make config) (make dep) (make modules) (make install_modules) (make vmlinux) It compiles fine, no errors, but the image is larger, and SILO complains that the image is too large (uncompressed image too large for space). Ive seen hints from other users on this list to use bzImage to compress the file, but to me that looks like an x86 tool only because it is not in the sparc64 directory space Hopefully someone out there can help me get passed this kernel build problem I would be tickled to learn any- way to get past it. Thanks, again, in advance for your patience with me, and for your assistance. Best of luck to all! [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by 1stcounsel Mail
