[newbie] compiling kernel

[Daniel Anderson]

  Hi,
 I'm running Mandrake 6.5 and have tried twice to recompile the
kernel,in order to run ax25 and both times the computer hangs while
finding module dependencies. I used make mrproper,make xconfig,make
dep,make clean,make bzImage,make modules,make modules install just like
I have done many times with the Caldera distributions. Is there
something different I must do with Mandrake? Is there a way to fix this
without reinstalling again? Lilo is finding the right kernel.

  Thanks,
   Dan
