Is it normal to get errors when using 2.6?
I get /etc/network deprecated, also selinux error, I also get about 5 error's about devices already running EX alsa.
I have tried compiling the kernel about 20 times and the error's are still there.
Even when running debians kernel-image the same thing.
It shouldn't be this hard

why would getting errors ever be normal?

I am also getting the same error as yours.

I had some people tell me to just ignore them? But I think they shouldn't be there at all. I was just curious if other's have problem's like this.

Actually, yeah... every kernel I've ever compiled has had a list of these. They're not errors, they're warnings. If they were errors, the make process would stop and not actually finish building your kernel. If you want to check to see if a process (such as make) terminated successfully, type "echo $?" at your bash prompt. By convention, this will produce a 0 if everything is okay and a non-zero value if something went wrong.

Usually, errors about deprecated usages and whatnot are harmless. A different way of doing things has been established and the deprecation is to point this out to people still using the old approach. Sometimes, though, source code is contributed and, because it works fine, isn't changed when something like this happens. So the code will still work, but the compiler will make a point of fussing about it just in case the code happens to be yours. This is my understanding of things, anyway.

Unless make refuses to build your kernel, you should be able to use it without worries. Anything that goes seriously wrong will most likely be reiterated to you at the end of the make's output, so you needn't go scrolling up looking for trouble.

Cheers!

Thnks for the info.

I have no problem compiling the kernel it's on bootup after I install the new kernel I see all the error's. It double load's the sound and then i have a slash threw the volume icon in kde when booted. Tried compiling the kernel again without alsa support and it still double booted. But otherwise with the error's I still boot up and get into kde and use it.

If everything works fine, then don't worry about the errors. I have about 20 errors on my boot-up about PCIExpress and various other things, but that's because the driver are compiled into the kernel and I don't have a PCIExpress slot.
