HI

I downloaded kernel 2.6.19.2, compiled and installed it.

When running the kernel however, I can't seem to be able to compile any modules for the kernel. The kernel source is still under /usr/src/linux (which is a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2).

I've tried compiling various things: the latest Madwifi, Truecrypt, the VMware kernel modules. They all recognise that the source for the current kernel is kept in /usr/src/linux (which it is), but they all fail with nondescript errors (make [Error 2]).

I have run make modules_prepare from inside /usr/src/linux, but to no avail.

What could I be missing? When I build the kernel, I copied over my current config and didn't change anything, so is there a kernel config option I am missing or something?

Thanks in advance.

Which the kernel devs strongly recommend you not do, BTW.

That's not the error code. Post the last 20-30 lines of make's output and it will (most of the time) contain the actual error.
