Hi,

I am an newbie first time trying to build a kernel. I downloaded the latest kernel 2.6.26 and tried to get it installed.

It compiled okay but when i tried to make install, I got the following Warnings

WARNING: No module ehci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module ohci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module uhci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module BusLogic found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module libata found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module ata_piix found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway


I have compiled it with allyesconfig. Is it the right thing to do. I did try also with defconfig but didnt work then too..!

What is the problem..? When i boot as the buslogic and other vital modules are not there i am not able to boot.

Please help

Thanks

I am not sure about the information which is preset in:
http://<br /> http://www.linuxquesti...-642347/<br />

Thanks Murugeshan,

But i have compiled with allyesconfig doent that mean all the modules would be set to yes atleast most of it.! I have checked it, What i could see it was selectied when i saw through xconfig.!

Somebody please help.
And yes i am trying it on Fedora 8. I know first time it would give me a tough time.! But believe me i have been trying it for a week now day in and day out.! I get some error or other.!! This is the first time everything complied properly but now this error.!!

Please help......!!

Strange thing ..........!!!

I changed .config file setting

CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC=M
CONFIG_USB_HCD_UHCI=M
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=M
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=M
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=M

All the warning except the warning

WARNING: No module libata found for kernel 2.6.26, continuing anyway

disappeared..!!

I am able to boot but some stuffs failed was it due to libata.!! What is this libata..?

Now can some one throw me some light on the following things.

- Why did it work when i set the options to M and not when it is set to Y
- Using the above logic what is the option which would make libata a module rather than it being a core of kernel.
- What does this libata do..??

Thanks
Nandha

I did change

CONFIG_ATA =m and everything works fine now.!! But still the question remains.!! Why so.???

If any body could throw light on it would be of great help

Thanks
Nandha

If you are sure you don't need any USB drivers to boot your system, you can try adding the (undocumented) --without-usb option to mkinitrd.

CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=M make the warning of No module ata_piix and libata go away.
