Error when I "make" linux-4.15.3

I get the following error when I go into the linux-4.15.3 directory
and try to "make" it.

Code:

I am currently in the 8.3.1 - "Installation of the kernel".
Please Help. Thanks in advance

Can you try to use a different kernel, like 4.16.10.

Have you deleted linux-4.15.3 directory and then untar the linux-4.15.3.tar.xz file again?
Did you run make defconfig?

Saw your reply first.
I downloaded the 4.16.10 and then tried it.
It works !!!
Didn't get any errors yet(I dont know how or why).
I will keep you guys informed.

Yes Several times.
I tried it with linux-4.16.10.
It is still in the "make" process but I didn't get any errors as of yet.
I keep you guys updated.

Thanks for the quick reply

My guess would be a bad download, I'm also in the process of during LFS at home, and haven't had any problems compiling the linux-4.15.3

Did all the steps following the kernel installation and installed grub.
When booting, it shows the option to choose the LFS Os.
When I click it seems to load with text streaming down and stuff.
But it crashes.The Capslock button keeps blinking.I think it is a"kernel panic". Is this because I used linux 4.16.10 ? What can I do here ?

Probably a driver missing in kernel/something not set right in the config file for the kernel.

After doing a fresh untar of your kernel, try these...

Quote:

make mrproper
make localyesconfig
make && make modules_install

what is the last few lines of test that you see when it crashes?

This happened because your "tools/objtool/arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c" file is probably corrupted.
This file is automatically generated during the build process, see "arch/x86/lib/Makefile".

To resolve it, simply delete the file and run "make" again.

I've seen it before, but I didn't dig into what caused it. Probably some rare race condition when building the kernel heavily in parallel.
