I try to compile my kernel to fullfile my PMIPv6 testbed setting. The step as follow:

sudo make oldconfig
sudo make xconfig

after this execute i configure my kernel setting. Then after that i execute the :

sudo make

Everything going fine.. but then when i execute the :

sudo make modules

there were warning occur. Is that warning will contribute to the kernel panic.. because i try to recompile my kernel, but everytime i recompile and reboot my system, the kernel panic. I dont know what else to do to solve my problem.

anyone can help me??

Hi

1)
when compiling my kernels using the Gentoo distribution I just run a "make && make modules_install". No need to compile the modules separately.
Sure that you have to run the "make modules"?
In any case some warnings while compiling might be normal (might depend as well on the options you set in the kernel if to show or not those warnings).

2)
What kind of kernel panic are you getting during boot? Just a plain kernel panic or do you get some other messages/complaints there?
Anything saying that it could not find the root filesystem or anything else?

Cheers

Pearlseattle ~ thank you for reply. I already solve the warning problem as i follow your instruction to do the execute command like this
and i dont get any warning occur.

Next, the kernel panic problem also already solve. I write a wrong command to create the initrd image so the kernel panic. Hope other that face the kernel panic problem can see the right way to write the command to create the initrd image for your new configuration kernel :-)

THank you again :-)
