Hello Thanks for the reply. Following is a bried summary of what I did- make xconfig - selected the required modules make dep make clean make bzImage make modules copied the kernel to /boot make modules_install - get the 'Unresolved symbols' in this step mkiintrd lilo I'm still getting the error. Also I can'nt boot from the new kernel . It hangs after I choose it from lilo. I'm wondering if this something to do with the 'Unresolved symbols' error. On Sat, 17 Aug 2002 Xander Solis wrote :

Sir, I think that the error that you get is from making the

kernel without specifying the options that can be linked as modules, in short, you didnt select any modules. That's why. It is perfectly safe not to run make modules_install if you dont have any modules to link to the kernel.

HTH.

Hello

I'm trying to build a new kernel (2.4.18). When I do a 'make modules_install, the install gives me the following output -

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/arch/i386/lib' cd /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB; \ mkdir -p pcmcia; \ find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.18-4GB; fi depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in

/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o

...

depmod: sis_free depmod: sis_malloc

Is this a problem ? If yes how do I solve it.
