some question and problem on recompile kernel 2.6.5-7.75 1. what is /usr/src/linux-obj use for ? 2. my kernel change from default to lkthomas, which mean it should be 2.6.5-7.75-lkthomas, and I make menuconfig, make bzImage modules, make install and make modules_install, mkinitrd, then config grub and try to bootup, the strange things happen on bootup, it said that /lib/modules/2.6.5-75-default/kernel/fs/.../reiserfs.ko : -1 invalid format ( what !? isn't I am booting up on 2.6.5-7.5-lkthomas ? why does it search 2.6.5-7.5-default modules fir to search for modules ? ) OK, I boot my suse back to old working kernel ( the default one ), and goto check /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.5-lkthomas/kernel/, IT'S EMPTY ?! why is it empty ? WTF ?!? huh ? isn't I did a modules_install ? and the dir are created after that command, how come the dir is empty ? 3. is there have any good docs to tell me how to compile this weird monster ? kernel-doc are kind of useless as it is confusing me even more I compile kernel since 2.0.x , but never saw such things happen in my life other than suse, errr....

I followed compiling your own kernel, but not working that way

I followed compiling your own kernel, but not working that way
I ran the following commands : make mrproper (if you've already compiled) make oldconfig moke bzImage (or bzlilo) make modules make modules_install mkinitrd reboot and it works for me if you want to compile external modules : save your Module.symvers file from /usr/src/linux directory make mrproper make oldconfig make prepare restore your Modules.symvers file and you can compile vmware or nvidia modules or any other external module if you follow the command given in the readme.suse file Michel.
