Why won't the kernel compile? Please help!!!

[pitupepito2000]

Hi,

I have debian and I am having quite a few problems, I am used to have a firewall in my linux system, but I uninstalled it and I took away the different options that I had enabled in my kernel now my kernel won't compile. I have tried different versions of gcc and nothing will work. By the way my distro is Debian. Please help !!! After I type make-kpkg this is what I get:

/usr/bin/make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/rules real_stamp_image

Eh? there's no error there

Hrm. I don't know much about doing kernels the "debian way," but perhaps try running "make modules" before you run whatever command you ran that gave that output. If that doesn't work, try going into the config again, and disabling the amd 768 random number generator support. I would say disable real time clock, but you'll want that.

In my experience, compiling kernels has gotten a lot more problematic in the past year or two. My first ever kernel compile worked perfectly, yet nowadays I always seem to have problems.

 

[pitupepito2000]

Problem Fixed. I don't really know what was causing the problem BBWF, but the fact that you mention to try make modules, gave me the idea to compile my kernel the standard way, and then it compile without problems throught the standard way and then I did it the debian way since that will take care of a lot of the dependencies for me.

Thanks for the help,

never had a problem with my kernel since i started using linux (a few months ago)
and i am usually on the bleeding edge, updating for ever mm patchset (currently running linux-2.6.0-test4-mm1, released yesterday )

 

[cleverhandle]

make-kpkg kernel-image should have built those modules for you. Probably the dependencies and config were out of sync. When in doubt, wipe the kernel-source directory, reextract it, and do a make mrproper for good measure.

It's very possible that I'm just dumb.

But I didn't used to be dumb (and I was a newb!). That's why it makes me think that it's the kernel's fault, not mine. Probably some of both.
