make: **** No rule to make target 'bzImage'
 

After configuring 2.4.17 tried to make : make bzImage
make responded with : make: *** No rule to make target `bzImage'.
Stop.

Do you know why this problem happens? how to fix it.

Thank you very much.

What sort of machine is it. I got very frustrated whilst trying to recompile on a Sparc 5. If you're on a sparc, it's make vmlinux, then gzip -9 vmlinux, then mv vmlinuz /boot. You need to move the system map as well.

I found a page on the web via google, after banging my head on the wall for a day or so!

Another questions--USB cd-Writer
 

Hi Jim,

Thank you very much for your reply, I am using Intel Pentium4 running RH7.2. I can do 'make bzIamge' now. I just logout and login again, and start from 'make xconfig'.

But I have another question. I want to install the USB Sony cd writer-CRX175A on RH7.2, with kernel 2.4.17. After I make new kernel, here is my configuration: (I follow the pst with tile'Mounting CDRW drive':

ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> SCSI emulation support

SCSI support ---> SCSI support
SCSI support ---> SCSI disk support
SCSI support ---> SCSI CD-ROM support

USB support ---> Support for USB
USB support ---> Preliminary USB device filesystem
USB support ---> UHCI (Intel PIIX4 VIA...) support
^^^^^
All of the above options are directly compiled in, not as modules.

USB support ---> USB Mass Storage support

This last option is compiled as a module.

modprobe usb-storage
[root@hera storage]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
usb-storage 20304 0 (unused)
3c59x 25888

My questions:
1. During the reboot procedure, checking new hardware: the computer can nof find new cd-writer.

2. after I reboot the machine, the the usb-storage module does not show up.

Thank you very mcuh.

First thought, I have no idea. Don't use usb much, and not tried external cd-rw. Likely to be something you missed on the recompile (I
remember doing that with printer support once!).

However I do use RH 7.2 and when I plugged my zip drive in to usb on desktop, or pcmcia on laptop, it was recognised instantly. Have you tried plugging it in when the system is running the default installed kernel?

I would boot the machine, then plug the drive in and see what is
happening. Check /var/log/messages for stuff about USB. It could be that your BIOS has usb disabled in which case it will never work.

I've given up recompiling kernels for the sake of it, I'm sticking with
Red Hat's upgrades, and the Ximian Red Carpet.

usb cd-rw
 

Hi Jim,
I tried the plugging in cd-rw when the system is running, there is message about usb in /var/logmessage.
Do you think this indicate the system reconigze my cd-rw?

Thank you very much.

Obviously I'm not an expert, but it clearly states no drivers. I suggest you check the Red Hat hardware compatibility list to see if your drive is supported.
