And it stoped saying "Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.21-rc2/kernel/drivers/net/fc/iph5526.o
depmod: fc_type_trans
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1"
I think it could of missed some things because it's stopped early, however the computer still works with the kernel, atleast right now. What should I do?

Unresolved symbols are usually a sign that the modules were compiled against a different System.map file. Did you do all the steps to the kernel compile?
You will need to do a make menuconfig or a make configure or one of various other means of configuration followed by a make dep, a make bzImage, a make modules, and of course a make modules_install. If it still doesn't work then it might be that the module is broken or they forgot to export a symbol for it, as you are using a pre-release kernel.
Hope this helps. By the way, what exactly "stopped early"?

i think the make modules_install was stopped before it finnished from the error.
And yes, I followed all the steps, I am just wondering if there could be problems from the make modules_install stopping before it finnished, which i am pritty sure it did.
Sorry, I think I missread part of you original post. That particular module definitly didn't compile, and the ones that should have compiled after it probably didn't either.
Do you need that driver? If not just go into the configure and get ride of it. That driver is for Interphase 5526 Tachyon chipset based fibre channel adapters. You can probably safely just remove Fibre Channel support completely, unless you have it of course.

I am not sure what the driver is! Where do I go to remove it from the list (Uncreative == n00b )
Sorry, was editing the post to tell you as you posted this.. heh.
