Hai, I am trying to install a 2.2.26 kernel for my FC1 for testing purpose of my modem driver. I went through several websites and I couldn't quiet figure out the problem.I could list my problems as follows.. After make config, I couldn't find the .config file anywhere ? even in the directory /usr/src/linux_version/ make dep: went smoothly.... make bzImage and make zImage gave the following output.. [root@localhost linux-2.2.26]# make zImage cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c `-m486' is deprecated. Use `-march=i486' or `-mcpu=i486' instead. cc1: warning: -malign-loops is obsolete, use -falign-loops cc1: warning: -malign-jumps is obsolete, use -falign-jumps cc1: warning: -malign-functions is obsolete, use -falign-functions In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/string.h:37, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h:64, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/sched.h:23, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:476:17: missing terminating " character In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/string.h:37, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h:64, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/sched.h:23, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h: In function `memscan': /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:477: error: syntax error before "repnz" /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:478: error: `scasb' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:478: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:478: error: for each function it appears in.) /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:478:21: invalid suffix "f" on integer constant /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/asm/string.h:480:17: missing terminating " character In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/sched.h:23, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h: In function `siginitset': /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h:193: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h: In function `siginitsetinv': /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/signal.h:205: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/blkdev.h:6, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/blk.h:4, from init/main.c:23: /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/genhd.h: In function `ptype': /usr/src/linux-2.2.26/include/linux/genhd.h:83: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement init/main.c:251:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:255:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:258:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:261:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:264:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:267:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:270:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:273:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:276:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:279:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:282:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:285:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:294:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:892:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:895:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:898:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:901:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:904:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:907:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:910:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:913:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:916:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:919:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive init/main.c:922:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 ----------------------- Can anybody help me thanks aruran ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
