Dear List Now for many attempts I'm trying to compile a 2.4.x Kernel for my system and I fail. At some point during make modules the process stops with an error (see below). I'm using make-kpkg and downloaded the source from the Debian archive. My system is a woody on rawhide (7305) and I would like to use all memory (not just 2GB) and SMP. (The standard SMP-Kernel doesn't boot, because of an error like /lib/modules/2.4.18-smp/modules.dep not found. I tried to fix this with no luck. That's why I tried to compile myself.) Both, with the sources of 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 I had no success.
The last lines before stopping are: if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b /usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image -r 2.4.20; fi depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.o depmod: plat_node_data make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20' make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20' I guess (I don't really understand a lot) it has to do with the "NUMA Support" in the "General Setup" of the kernelconfiguration. Do I really need this support on my system (the help text says something of "high-end multiprocessor server machines")? On X86-Systems I could compile several kernels successfully. Is there anything to do differently on alphas, or is it basically the same procedure? In the attachement you can find my kernel config file. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, Adrian. -- Adrian Zaugg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
