i have reconpiled a kernel before and it turned up great but
now i get this error :

Code:

cp pktgen.o /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/net/core/
cp: cannot stat `pktgen.o': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/net/core'
make[1]: *** [_modinst_core] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/net'
make: *** [_modinst_net] Error 2

That means that the driver hasn't been compiled
but it is trying to copy it ...

If I encounter troubles of that kind I usually
take the following steps:

cd /your/kernel-source/directory/
cp .config ~/.config
make mrproper
cp ~/.config .config
make menuconfig
(exit & save)
make dep .... and so forth

Cheers,
