Smile problem inststalling kernel


Hello,

I am trying to compile a kernel for the first time.
I downloaded the latest version and untard it in /usr/src
Then i did: make menuconfig, make, make modules, mmake modules_install and make install.
But i got this in return
Code:
bash-4.3# make install
sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 4.14.0-rc1 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
        System.map "/boot"
CONFIG_MODULES=y
I again don't know what version: 4.14.0-rc1 is
/sbin/installkernel: line 31: return: can only `return' from a function or sourced script
bash-4.3#
I dont know much stuff about compiling and google wasnt really helpfull either so thats why i registered here to make a post.
Does anyone know what the problem is or where i have to look to see whats going wrong?

There could be numerous places where things went wrong and btw, I'm not a kernel expert and I've never had to install a new kernel.

There are thousands of ways to configure a kernel. W/O experience with configuring a kernel you should start with a solid base config and modify it.

If the compilation gives an 'error' check the configuration. Most Compile Errors are usually caused by fault .conffile.

I would follow this guide.

Welcome to LQ!!! Did you get it resolved?

How about 4.13.3 instead of 'today's rc=release candidate!?
Or pkg from your distro; what distro & version?

You could have a look at that script, around line 31

Try https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild
(that prior link was 12 years old)
