Recompile 2.6
 

I am completly stranded on this and hoping for some input. I have recompiled 2.6 on many machines with no problem. I use my machine for various developments and initially had no problem compiling 2.6. I recently tried some new configurations and when I compiled I get the following error:

bash-3.00# make
CHK include/linux/version.h
UPD include/linux/version.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-i386
SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*

make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2

bash-3.00#

I thought may be I hosed my gcc, so I downloaded a random source like 'starlium' and compiled and executed with out a problem. I have also tried the .config that is automatically generated and used my own. This was thinking that something in my .config was incorrect. I have also downloaded another .config I use on another labtop that is identicle.

Thanks,

Is this all with the same kernel source? Why not try to use then compile the kernel. Better change the name of your .config so that it's not deleted. If that doesn't work download a new copy of the source.

I have tried 3 different source trees that are different revisions. All display the same error. The order of operation for me is:

make mrproper
make menuconfig
make

post the .config, I'll try to build it.

The .config is to big to post here and I dont have a link. Send me your email and I will send it over.
