How are you trying to compile them? I keep hearing about all these
people having problems compiling the kernel, and yet I've never had a
problem. For what it's worth, this is how I do it (from a little
reminder file for myself =) :
copy .config somewhere safe
make clean
make distclean
make mrproper
copy .config back from where I copied it
make config (or xconfig, or menuconfig)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
kernel will be: ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage
Make initial ramdisk:
mkinitrd version.img version
