LM 6.1 helios
kernel 2.2.13-7mdk
this my first time to recompile a kernel with EXTRAVERSION, but not my first
recompile. for us newbies, recompiling a kernel can be a great way to learn
linux, learn our own systems and have fun. perhaps there are some
traps I missed.
make deps ran ok, as did make modules and make modules_install
when I first reboot I got an error --
modprobe: insmod: :329: parsing error in dependency file
and the machine hung at checking module dependencies. <ctrl> c kept it booting,
but the modules aren't loading, (support for vfat, parport, etc.)
so I ran depmod -a and moved the /usr/src/module file (renamed it, actually).
and reboot with the same result.
so, I recompiled, ran depmod -a again and reboot.
this time it didn't hang, but ....
