Hello!
I'm new at linux.When i was trying to compile kernel , an error occured.

Code:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/x86/kernel/entry-32.o',needed by 'arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: ***[arch/x86/kernel] Error 2

what can i do to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.

I use Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG and i downloaded it's driver.It requires new linux kernel and i downloaded Linux Kernel 2.6.25.10.I did the written steps.First i set the configuration options.

Code:

make xconfig

It was written some requires for compiling kernel and i downloaded them and compiled as well,then i tried to compile it

Code:

make

while files were installing,error occured

Code:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.o',
needed by ''arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o'. Stop.
make : *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2

Did you accidently leave something out that you needed during the xconfig portion?
