After my previous message I changed the configuration for the kernel slightly (I cannot remember what I changed) and the compilation process again aborted.
Here is the last few lines of output: 0make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/arch/i386/math-emu' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/arch/i386/math-emu' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o init/main.o init/version.o \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o net/network.a \ fs/filesystems.a \ drivers/block/block.a drivers/char/char.a drivers/net/net.a arch/i386/math-emu/math.a \ /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/lib/lib.a /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/arch/i386/lib/lib.a -o vmlinux drivers/net/net.a(defxx.o): In function `dfx_probe': defxx.o(.text+0x15a): undefined reference to `pcibios_present' defxx.o(.text+0x188): undefined reference to `pcibios_find_device' defxx.o(.text+0x1c2): undefined reference to `pcibios_read_config_word' defxx.o(.text+0x20e): undefined reference to `pcibios_write_config_word' defxx.o(.text+0x226): undefined reference to `pcibios_read_config_word' drivers/net/net.a(defxx.o): In function `dfx_bus_init': defxx.o(.text+0x5c8): undefined reference to `pcibios_read_config_byte' defxx.o(.text+0x5e7): undefined reference to `pcibios_read_config_byte' defxx.o(.text+0x612): undefined reference to `pcibios_write_config_byte' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 I have gcc version 2.7.2.1. Can somebody help me please. This is my first try and I realy do not know what to do. It would be a lovely day when things start working as they should!
