Oh my what ever did I do

[Jeepsta]

Ok...I compiled my kernel as per the NHF and it worked fine. I got through it all flawlessly. I found out that I had overlooked some things so I decided to recompile but I decided to upgrade my "modutils" as I read in another thread. Now when I try to do a "make bzImage" I get this [root@zechariah linux]# make bzImage

make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1

What did I do and how do I fix it? What does the "[init/main.o]" mean? Please help.

Thanks,

Zach

..sorry man I don't have the foggiest, but I will try to help:

Did you run make mrproper or make clean before you did the second recompile?

Perhaps something in your source got corrupted -you might consider starting all over by unzip/tar your *kernel-2.4-linux-user-couldn't-resist-tinkering.tar.gz-or-.bz2 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Does any of these errors mean anything to anyone? I am at a loss right now and cant get my 2.4.0 kernel to compile. I cant figure out what happened and how to fix it. I guess I will keep playin unless someone has an idea.

Through numerous recompiles I believe I have discovered what you are doing wrong - be sure NOT to include smp in your kernel!

I believe under Processor options you have included smp and you don't have multiple processors.

Yes sir my friend I believe that you have solve my problem. Many thanks to ya. If at all possible would you know how to tell that from the output I was given. Thanks again.

In a way, Yes, I could tell by the error you posted: At first I thought that the modutils patch had somehow corrupted your source files but a lucky mistake revealed the problem:

My son and I were installing 2.4 in his machine, the first compile went well, but like you we needed to do it again -when we did it again we got an almost identical error as yours.

I remembered your post and was determined to see what we had misconfigured - turned out to be the smp option -doh!

So I posted back as soon as I could.
