"make dep" isn't used in the 2.6 kernels. Use "make prepare" instead
Thanks, Anders. That is the solution.
In building a 2.6.X kernel, at what point would I use "make prepare"? Same place as make dep in earlier versions?
No, if you're building the kernel, you don't need to do anything apart from configuring it and running "make bzImage" (and of course "make modules" as needed). You only need "make prepare" when you have a kernel source and you want to "prepare" it in order to compile new modules or other things that need current kernel source configuration
Thanks for the information. Ed Harrison SuSE 9.1, Kernel 2.6.7-vanilla PolarBar Mailer 1.25a
