I just got my 5.2 and have installed it. I would like to customize the kernel to my needs. I used "make xconfig" to configure my kernel. I then attempted to compile with "make def zImage xdisk". (I boot from floppy.) The following error comes form the "zdisk" part of the "make" . Does anybody understand what is going on here? TIA, Steve make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/lib' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/kernel' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/kernel' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o init/main.o init/version.o \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o net/network.a \ fs/filesystems.a \ drivers/block/block.a drivers/char/char.a drivers/net/net.a drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a driv ers/sound/sound.a drivers/pci/pci.a \ /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/ lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib/lib.a -o vmlinux nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$\)\|\( a \)' | sort > System.map make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/boot' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/boot/compressed' tmppiggy=/tmp/$$piggy;
