Whenever I try to compile a new kernel with make bzImage .... it wont boot .... instead it says something like :

Wrong compression format :Err:2
System Halted

Weird point : ... when I disable Kernel module load ... it seem fine

what kernel are you using?
what steps are you doing when you compile?
What distro are you using?

oopssorry ....

Using morphix based on Debian with kernel 2.4.21

Previously I needed to install a lot of supplementary package since this distro dont have everything needed to compile ...

I intalled gcc 2.95, libc6-dev, kernel-header2.6.9, kernel-source 2.4.21

I know this is weird, and this leads me to another question ... with does libc6-dev need kernel-header ? .... can it use the header in the dir kernel-2.4.21 when compiling ... Or can I extract the include from the currect running kernel ?

Cause I didn't figure out how to uninstall a package under debian using kpackage ...

My hardware is AMD DUron, geforce2, USB Kb and mouse, something basic. I used the configuration files provide by morphix

One other computer that do the similar problem is a Acer Pentium 2-400 Mhz laptop, nothing particuliar
