I recompiled again, with the same results.
If you didn't change EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile, you will have the leftover modules from the modular kernel in /lib/modules/`uname -r` but they will not be able to load with the kernel that has them builtin. I'd use a unique EXTRAVERSION for each new custom configuration. When you get it right you can remove all the false starts. > A lot of error messages courtesy of depmod as it tries to find module > dependencies --- things like input.o, soundcore.o, etc. I've recompiled > twice after that, with a slightly different command order: > > make xconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install > > But still I get the same module dependency problems during boot.
