TimeTwister Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) hi. Im using an acer 800 laptop, therefore I would like to recompile the kernel to active better powersave functionality and optimize the kernel. Im currently using mdk 10 CE. However, ive tried both with kernels from mandrake (2.6.3-xmdk) and also the 2.6.4 from kernel.org, but i always wind up with the following error message after doing make mrproper (sp?), make xconfig, make make modules modules_install: INSTALL lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.4; fi Any clues as to what i do wrong? Any tips tricks and advice highly appreciated :) TimeTwister Edited April 26, 2004 by TimeTwister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeTwister Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 ok tried more kernels, no good.... I downloaded the 2.6.5 from kernel.org and followed the howto at http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/799?PHPSES...821b10218aa08a1 and i still get the same error msg when doing the make modules_install Any suggestions? I even did this to one of the rpms I downloaded: installed the kernel rpm, then did make xconfig, did nothing, saved, and still problems with system.map... Here is the current error msg i get in 2.6.5: [root@Elysium linux-2.6.5]# make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. CHK include/linux/compile.h dnsdomainname: Unknown host Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. Building modules, stage 2.
