Hi, just attempting to compile a kernal for the first time, and I'm receiving an error while running "make zImage". I kinda understand how some of this works, and I've looked a fair bit to see if this is a common problem.

The errors complain about two undefined references in kernal.o for "__start_kallsyms" and "__stop_kallsyms"

the "make xconfig", "make dep" and "make clean" all seem to run fine. I select what I believe to be the right configuration for the toshiba laptop, MMX, toshiba support etc.

I can supply any more information, I just hope that someone here could possibly send me in the right direction. Being a relative newbie to linux but being a long time developer under windows, I'm hoping this is an easy thing to resolve...

My current kernel appears to be 2.2.1, and I'm attempting to compile 2.4.18.
