I don't think you screwed up, possibly just the main kernel source doesn't take into account the differences between distributions. when I compile from source and while I am not using kernel-package(most of the time I use it) I do: make menuconfig (for me, its easier then xconfig, xconfig exposues so many more options even when they are greyed out, harder to sort through everything) make clean make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-#.#.## (edit lilo.conf) I've never tried the 'make install' ..on the kernel at least nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
