Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I have never been able to
successfully recompile the kernel with modules. I am using seawolf and I
have looked up numerous articles on how to do it but none of the procedures
I have read about have worked. I can recompile the kernel as long as all of
the support I want is compiled in (no modules). I can include kernel module
loader support and it seems to work fine on the newly compiled kernel, 'cept
I have no modules to insert because everytime I build the modules the
process fails. This is what I am doing:
# make menuconfig
- select the stuff i want, nothing fancy, exit saving changes.
# make dep clean modules
- make errors out during the modules part (usually Error 2) referencing
whatever things I have selected as modules (for example parallel port, usb
stuff, stuff like that, things that are already running as modules in the
default kernel)
# some books I have on the subject say to remove the existing module support
from /lib/modules/'version', then after making the modules run # make
modules_install , thus installing them. Then I edit /etc/modules.conf
accordingly. Update lilo.conf, run lilo, then reboot. This is what I know
to do thus far.
Like I said I can recompile the kernel successfully as long as I do not
select to make any of the items I want as modules, they compile fine if I
just include them. As a note, I don't need any module support during
bootup, meaning all the support I need during boot I compile into the
kernel, thus eliminating the need to build and ramdisk image.
I haven't included all of the error details because I suspect that there is
something simple that I am doing wrong that is causing this problem and
therefore what I have written here should be sufficient. I can include
specifics if needed.
