Hi,
I have linux kernel 2.6.9-22 installed in my PC. I wanted to install a package that required some change in the kernel configuration. So i made the changes and rebuilt the kernel using 'make'. It failed there showing some error in SCSI driver. I found in another forum that the patch 2.6.10-rc1 solves this problem. So applied the patch using 'patch ' command. After this i executed 'make' and it came out successfully. After that i did 'make modules'. But i got the following error for 'make install' :

WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.10-rc1: No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.10-rc1/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory
/lib/modules/2.6.10-rc1 is not a directory.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

How can i solve this problem? I just ran the 'patch' command. Should i do anything after to make the patch effective?

Thanks
Karthik

i have never done make install with a kernel
try make modules_install first

There has to be some way to delete a post. rm

make modules_install should work.

As a side note, why are you using such an old kernel version?
