Newbie compiling for the first time...


I am installing slackware 12.2.
When I compile the following, I get errors. Can someone help me understand what the errors mean? The errors occur in step 7 make modules

My steps:

mkdir unraid
mv unRAID* unraid
cd unraid
unzip unRAID*
mkdir bz-mod
cd bz-mod
zcat ../bzroot | cpio -i -d -H newc --no-absolute-filenames
cd /usr/src/unraid/bz-mod/usr/src/linux
cp -rf * /usr/src/linux/
cp -rf .config /usr/src/linux/


6. Prepare the kernel config. Code:

cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make menuconfig

In the last step of #5, we had copied the stock unRAID kernel config to /usr/src/linux.

7. Compile the kernel: Code:

make bzImage
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.1-unRAID
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.29.1-unRAID
make modules This is where the errors start.
make modules_install

It says there is a bug in the file drivers/md/md.c I would look for a patch; check out the latest kernel sources or use the previous, fully patched, kernel from kernel.org. These things happen and, from what I can see, what you did is the correct way to compile the kernel.
