Guest sidewinder Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I'm a newbie at this so detailed info would be appreciated. Thanks!! Every time I try to recompile the kernel I get these two errors: make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2 [root@localhost linux]# What does this mean.

Gowator Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 It means it can't compile the virtual memory manager... However .... what to do about it I don't know.... Can you compile other stuff (just something simple) perhaps its a problem in the source or with your compiler/linker setup??? One way to try is download the .src.rpm for that kernel and try a rpm --rebuild (this should compile it and package it to an RPM) ... its not really any benefiot unless you optimise it but it will let you know if its you or the code ??? I used to do this a lot then haven't for a while and Ive had endless probs myself just recompiling a new kernel :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
