Compiling kernel System.map problems...

[TimeTwister]

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 :)

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:

if i remove the serial_core module, then it will stop at sbp2.ko...so thats not a solution either.

 

Any ideas?
