Before any other make commands do:
make oldconfig
Ok - tried that. But it didn't seem to make any difference to the config file:
penemude:/usr/src/linux # ls -l .conf* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:36 .config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:22 .config.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 19:04 .config.orig penemude:/usr/src/linux # diff .config .config.old
However when I re-attempted the make with make dep clean bzImage and contrary to my expectations, it completed successfully....
Did the 'make oldconfig' effect anything other than the .config file?
No, it does not. Did you actually try to compile after doing the config.gz thing, or did you only look at the config files? Tried diff on the files? -- 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.

Hi,
Ok - tried that. But it didn't seem to make any difference to the config file:
penemude:/usr/src/linux # ls -l .conf* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:36 .config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 21:22 .config.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24724 Jun 5 19:04 .config.orig penemude:/usr/src/linux # diff .config .config.old

No - I didn't try another make after the gzip -cd /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config but I did do to a diff and a cmp on the new and old config files with no apparent change, so I couldn't see any chance of things working any differently..... Anyway, shouldn't 842327 Jun 5 22:21 /usr/src/linux-2.2.16.SuSE/arch/i386/boot/bzImage Be the same as the kernel in penemude:/usr/src/linux # ls -l /boot/vmlinuz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 842325 Aug 2 2000 /boot/vmlinuz Is there something compiled in to record the domain of the compiling host perhaps?
