I have just performed a fresh SuSE 7.0 install using the suggested defaults for my system, and wanted to confirm that the kernel source that I have in /usr/src/linux really does correspond to what I am running.

Consequently I tried following the instructions on page 379 of the handbook to recompile without any change to the configuration.

That is, I logged in as 'root' on the console, cd /usr/src/linux make dep make clean make bzImage but unfortunately the last line produces the messages below. Anyone have any idea what has gone wrong? As I havn't changed anything yet, I would have thought this should have worked.. :-/

Presumably my use of an Intel 440GX motherboard with 2 CPUs has resulted in a less well tested configuration...

It seems as if the configuration is not up-to-date. Do a gzip -cd /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config to be sure. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.
