Interesting problem when building a kernel on my Athlon XP (i586, it tells me):
make mrproper make oldconfig (make sure EXT3 is built in, or just leave SuSE defaults)
Does oldconfig do a make modules?
make install (I use grub instead of lilo, so it barks at that step)
It still works, although like you said it pukes at lilo...
Following arises:
1. Kernel build dies with floating point exception, but continues to build upon restart of make install
-or-
2. traps.c fails to compile because CONFIG_KDB #define is not set...but I set CONFIG_KDB=y (by default) in the .config
Either way, when I finally get things to build and install, the following can happen:
a. it never comes up... b. it comes up and barks about not supporting EXT3, usb, or any network card...
Now, if I use the defaults (or make any changes) I get the same behavior...considering that my system is installed with EXT3 filesystem from the DVD, and no hardware changes have been made...what am I doing wrong?
I'm cruising the documentation and kernelnewbies.org and used to build SunOS/Solaris kernels for fun...
Any help/insights would be greatly appreciated. SuSE is moaning that this isn't an install issue so send $$.
It isn't an install issue :). Never could get ABI going, but figured I didn't need it. Matt
Thanks in advance
