I run a 2.2.19 kernel on a debian box.I did a kernel compile. I will try to outline in brief what was done and what I wish to get cleared. make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzdisk I booted from the floppy that now contains the new (and I had made this one modular) , and I get errors like :
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.19/usb/rio500.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.19/usb/scanner.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.19/usb/uhci.o /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/soundcore.o: unresolved symbol vfree_R2fd1d81c /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/soundcore.o: unresolved symbol unregister_chrdev_Rc192d491 /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/soundcore.o: unresolved symbol request_module_R27e4dc04 /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/videodev.o: unresolved symbol unregister_chrdev_Rc192d491 /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/videodev.o: unresolved symbol request_module_R27e4dc04 My question (1) is where are the modules of the newly compiled modular kernel ? Obviously the relevant files do exist at the /lib , but why this error ? Added to this , I still prefer to boot the old kernel than the one I made to the floppy. My question(2) is what is the exact syntax of : make -kpkg --revision=i686+Shyam kernel_image I think it should ultimately look like : make -kpkg --revision=i686+Poornashree vmlinuz but , I get no vmlinuz , no error messages no deb. I want to try out things like : Getting a display like --- Debian/GNU Linux (Shyam) when anybody dpkg -i my kernel.deb Please guide me on this.
