Hi Stefan, maybe your sources are linked to the headers ? This is my way, it might not be correct, but it works: Go to /usr/src Check a link "/usr/src/linux" , it should point to the unpacked linux-sources, "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20" If the link points to the headers, delete it and make it new, pointing to the sources. O.k., now cd into /usr/src/linux Do "make menuconfig" In the forth line of the GUI you see "Processor type and features". Step into. In the second line of this menu, you see "Processor family" , anbd here you can choose your processor. Hint: The kernel-headers are only for building modules, the kernel-sources are building a kernel. I hope, this helps. Good luck ! Regards Hans -- Firma Ullrich-IT-Consult Inh.: Hans-J.
