LinuxQuestions.org - Fedora Core 4, source compile kernel 2.6 (jane)

Hi.

I'm trying to compile a new kernel on a FC4 distribution (Stentz). I have the FC4 kernel config file that was used to compile the FC4 kernel. What I want to do is compile a plain kernel (eg, from kernel.org). The problem is that when I run 'make menuconfig', I receive several errors of the following format: "trying to assign nonexistent symbol".

Here are some:

Code:

.config:62: trying to assign nonexistent symbol MODULE_SIG

.config:63: trying to assign nonexistent symbol MODULE_SIG_FORCE

.config:168: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ACPI_BOOT

.config:169: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ACPI_INTERPRETER

.config:186: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ACPI_BUS

My assumption is that these exist because the FC4 kernel source provides features that do not exist in the plain kernel. I am fine with this. I just want to move to a kernel.org kernel, without the FC4 'magic spices'.

I suppose what I am asking for is whether there exists some documentation, how-to, or FAQ to assist me in resolving these errors. The plain kernel must at least boot on the first attempt... so I cannot afford trial and error.

Thanks.
