this is my first time messing with the kernel. I changed a few things per the guide to setting up my leadtek PVR tv tuner (aparantly i cant post the links to the sites where i am taking instructions from so just im me at dutra2418 or email me and i will send them to you) everything seems to go well until i type make bzImage then i get this:

HELP I dont know what i did wrong. I thought maybe i got a bad copy of it so i Dl'ed and did it again but to no avail...some help would be great, thanks.



-greg

2.4.7???!!!???

should i use a different one? I was just following instructions, google coreys TVTuner Guide and it should be the first link, then go to the link that says joeys kernel compile (about 1/3 down the page) then you should see the link i followed...im a noob when it comes to kernel stuff..i mostly use linux for meteorological applications (im a met student) and i have taken a unix class so i can get around shell and know a little about fortran and perl..

just use the current stable version

right now, it's 2.4.32 for the 2.4 series

welcome to LQslackforum that instructions were old,
now the newewst kernels are 2.4.32 in this 2.4 series
and 2.6.15.x new in 2.6 series,
so go for these kernel sets, better go for 2.6 one that is promising
