Kernel module problems

[kyutums]

After tinkering with the kernel via "make xconfig", I get the ff. error message upon loading the new kernel. But still, my new kernel works. Aside from the ff. messages, everything seems okay. Should I be worried about anything here?

Thanks! :)

what did you do exactly after make xconfig?
did you do
make modules
and
make modules_install
if so did you get any error messages?

[kyutums]

Yup.

I put all the commands in one line "make dep; make clean; make bzlilo; make modules; make modules_install; halt ;". The kernel compiles a long time on my system (a Pentium 133 with 16MB RAM) so I just put the commands in one line and ordered it to shutdown after compiling. I sense a "That's the wrong way!" sermon coming soon. :)

I've never used zlilo because I've heard that it dosen't always work
what I do is; after make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.map-xxx
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-xxx
then you edit lilo.conf found in /etc/ to include the new kernel image whilst keeping the original in case things don't work.
after editing lilo.conf run /sbin/lilo to install the new lilo file in the mbr
another thing to consider is 1) did you do a make mrproper before xconfig
2)it may be a wrong option picked at the xconfig stage -make any sense?? :confused:
can't express myself today!
