Soo I got the source for 2.6.0 and tried to compile it. First time went alright but I screwed up and had to do it again . Now I get this:

make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance

In what step are you getting this error? That might help determine the problem? More details please.

Okay, first I make clean & make mrproper & make xconfig. Then I just make (that's compiling the kernel right?), that's where I get this error. After 15 minutes or so.

what does your .config file look like?

HC

Two suggestion rm -rf /usr/src/linux and untar a new kernel tree to start fresh and do you actually need the opl3 modules compiled if not then do not compile them.

What are the opl3 modules?? I unchecked pretty much anything I don't need so. The config file is too big to post here.

They are for a sound card I think some variety of the Yamaha cards not sure of that though. So if you do not need them unselect them in the sound/multimedia section. Here is what they are called if you want to edit the .config yourself:

What about ' make dep ' ?

make mrproper
make dep
make clean
make bzImage modules modules_install install

Not needed with the 2.6.0, or so it tells me.

There's nothing with OPL3 in it set in my config file.

Did you try starting over like HappyTux suggested? That seems like the easiest approach. Save your config file first, and don't copy it back until after make mrproper.
