Hi Emiliano, I had this same probl when I first tried to compile a kernel on FC1, and the solution was to run 'make mrproper' right right before trying anything with the fresh source tree. NOTE: it wipes out your .config file, so make sure you have a copy of it somewhere, or be prepared to configure it all over again. Now, all I do when a new kernel comes out is: 1. cd [new kernel dir]; make mrproper 2. copy .config from previous kernel source tree 3. make oldconfig 4. make dep bzImage modules modules_install install HTH Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
