Hi
SL5.0 - I am compiling up a couple of new kernels to try only I don't
see where the modules are going. So no modules, no initrd etc etc.
make clean
make xconfig
make
make modules
produces nothing in /lib/modules but this may be because:
make modules
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 771 modules
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params
from .text between '_text' (at offset 0xc0400029) and 'startup_32_smp'
... and lots more lines like the last one.
Any clues?
Best wishes

As near as I can see, you haven't actually told it to install the kernel
modules, just build them. Here's the proper steps I believe
*For 2.6 kernel building*
make xconfig
make
make modules_install
make install
a little bit of explanation
make modules_install ( Used to install built modules to
/lib/modules/<kernel> )
make install - ( To install new kernel to /boot, setup grub, create
initrd file in /boot, and copy system.map)
