error compiling kernel
 

hello
i had to compile my kernel for my modem
i have done the following(kernel source is install):

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0
make mrproper
cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/configs/kernel-2.4.i686.config /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/.config
make oldconfig
make dep
make modules_install

and at make modules_install it gives me error 2 at drivers
and this way its not working correctly,cause its not finished
any ideeas?

you have to compile the kernel and install it
if you want to install a new set of modules.

how to install it?
ps: the error is: it doesnt recognize vfat either now,and gives many errors on startup

generally, it's
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make install
make modules_install

if your kernel has some missing stuff, though,
you may not be able to boot, after.

ok
thanks
let me try

you can't install the modules without compiling them first.

And I for one dont use make install. Just copy the kernel (bzImage) from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot (might have that wrong) and add to lilo.conf by hand.
