Thank you guys for responding.
I don't know how long it took for the compililng but at the last message was that it didn't do a makefile because it was the same version kernel that I have already.
The next message was that I wouldn't have so many errors had I have not include the kernel headers.
There were numerous error messages that gave me a great deal of information, just getting as far as I did was a good feeling, but I think I got a little ahead of myself. I believe that I need to spend a little more time with the modules and their functions and how to use modprobe and modconf.
I really need a more detailed reference for the modprobe command, the manpages are very sketchy.
Where did you get the kernel source from? Ie is it vanilla or does patches?
The resources I was using was from sevenl networks
https://www.sevenl.net/blog/how-to-c...ebian-5-lenny/
Related to this, what are you using for your config file? For example are you starting with the config file from your previous kernel and then running "make oldconfig"?
I used "make oldconfig".
Are you doing this 2nd compile with make-kpkg? If so, could you post the exact command?
I was using the sevenl page for copy and paste operation.
What are you using a basis to start the compilation. Does your distribution have some basic source package? Are you just going to kernel.org and starting from complete scratch? You might want to at least find a decent .config somewhere.
Also, you can compile the kernel for the 500mhz cpu on another computer. This will speed it up AND you can copy+paste output...
Here is a handy little command that will tell you the output of "-march=native" on the 500mhz computer so you can set CFLAGS on another machine:
Code:
gcc -march=native -E -v - </dev/null 2>&1 | sed -n 's/.* -v - //p'
I used my make oldconfig but I don't know how much that helps because I"ve ever gotten my configuration right. It's just the default configuration that I got from another link.

As far as compiling and the time it takes that's not a problem, but to compile on another machine is, only because I'm so new to this. I only recently got my machine to send and receive mail. I still haven't used the irc-chat. I can remote connect to it and control it but I can't transfer files from 1 to the other. I'm working on it though.
I took this snipit from the sevenl page
=> Linux mx 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 26 01:08:11 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
This is what mine says
eddy1:~# uname -a

eddy1:~# uname -r

But in dmesg it shows 2 or more versions.
Also can you take a look at this and tell me how close I am to actually having it setup? As far as the os. Thank you in advance.
