i've never actually built a kernel before, so I'm having newbie trouble -- I wonder if some kind soul can set me straight?
Trying to keep things simple, I am attempting to build the exact kernel that my system already has, FC3 (2.6.9-1.667). I downloaded the source, configured it (It is the same .config as is in the configs directory for i686) and built the bzImage.
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec make bzImage
This all seems to go okay, but when I try and boot with bzImage, it gets a couple of errors like:
"error inserting /lib/jbd.ko" and "error inserting /lib/ext3.ko", and then panics.
Do I *have to* also build modules? I wouldn't think so, since I am just trying to build the same kernel.
Does the system.map file matter?
Thanks.
Ed
