Can anybody help me here. I think u should be using RHEL 9 , and after downloading the 2.6.22 source code, u just need to do 1. make config/xconfig(whichever xconfig gives u GUI interface) 2. make 2> /dev/null So I am just wondering whether you need make defconfig at all. Please let me know anyone whether I am correct on this, I feel that from 2.6 kernel onwards we don't need make dep. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, -DD
