Sorry for this long message but I really need your help. I hope I'm not
off-topic. Maybe am I doing something wrong?
In short, since 2.4.5 I seem not to be able to install a kernel (depmod
says "unresolved symbols"). 2.4.6 shows the same problem but as far as I
remember 2.4.4 did not. The sources I use are downloaded straight from
www.kernel.org and I always use the same .config file.
Relevant data about my machine: PC Pentium III, 320 Mo, UDMA disks, and
the OS is Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 ("Potato"). Currently I run a 2.4.1 kernel.
To compile the kernel, I run "make-kpkg buildpackage" (make-kpkg is
provided by Debian to automatically compile and build debian packages out of
the kernel source).
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I'm willing to help
improve Linux, not to bother you.
Thanks from your help,
Cyril
PS- Would you be kind and Cc: to c.adrian@alplog.fr? Thanks a lot.
