> Hi, this is the first time we try to compile a kernel.
> We are running a Red Hat 6.0 - 2.2.5-15 and we'll like to
> upg. to 2.2.12
> PII 350 - 64Mb
> 3com 59x
> intel 740 video card (with it's Xfree86 installed)
>
> This is what we did :
> - We got the sources
> - unpacked in usr/src/linux
> - make mrproper
> - make oldconfig
> - make dep
> - make zlilo ("error 2, system is too big, try make bzimage")
> - make bzlilo (it works)
> - make modules
> - make modules_install
>
> reboot
>
> it starts the old kernel, so we checked the lilo.conf and found it was
> uncorrectly referring to the old kernel, we fix this and boot again
> The boot sequence works fine untill it meets "checking module
> dependecies",
> then the system seem to wait forever.
> we break with a ctrl_c and step forward.
> The eth0 doesn't work (we have an addictional module for 3c59x)
>
> we investigate about modules :
> - depmod -a (a lot of unresolved symbol)
> - modprobe 3c59x (kernel-module version mismatch ...)
>
> Qestions :
> - is the stale during checking module dependecies connected
> to 3c59x module
> version mismatch?
> - does the "make modules" recompile the modules including
> 3c59x (not sure we
> have all the sources, where can we get them?)?
> - how can we come out from this? (we can still boot our
> system with 2.2.5-15
> and works fine)
