Hey there everyone: I'm trying to build an x86_64 kernel in OpenSUSE 10.0 and I'm running into problems when I try to install it... I can run make xconfig; make; make modules; make modules_install all with no problem... so it runs into problems when I run make install: *** linux:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16 # make install sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.16/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh 2.6.16-default arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" Root device: /dev/hda2 (mounted on / as ext3) Module list: amd74xx sata_nv processor thermal fan jbd ext3 Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.16-default Shared libs: lib/ld-2.3.5.so lib/libc-2.3.5.so lib64/ld-2.3.5.so lib64/libblkid.so.1.0 lib64/libc-2.3.5.so lib64/libcom_err.so.2.1 lib64/libext2fs.so.2.4 lib64/libselinux.so.1 lib64/libuuid.so.1.2 Cannot determine dependencies of module amd74xx.

(Mind you, ext3 is set to build right into the kernel in the config, not as a module)... So I've searched around... tried some of suggestions given others with simular problems... like using depmod to rebuild the modules.dep file. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the kernel source... I've tried different versions of the kernel source (2.6.16, 2.6.13-15)... I've even deleted and fresh installed the entire suse 10.0 distro. Any ideas? Thanks! Shaun
