[hopefully I am doing this right, I have never used a mailing list] Hello, This is my first attempt to (re)compile the kernel. I am running slackware 9.1 and the 2.4.22 kernel. I made adjustments to optimize it (take out modules I don't need, etc.). I did make dep, and make clean in the /usr/src/linux/ dir without any problems. But, when I attempt to do "make bzImage" I get make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/math-emu' ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/ i386 /kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/ do_m ounts.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/f s.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/n et/net.o drivers/net/fc/fc.o drivers/net/tokenring/tr.o drivers/net/wan/wan.o dr ivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/net/ wi reless/wireless_net.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/md/ mdd ev.o crypto/crypto.o arch/i386/math-emu/math.o \ net/network.o \ /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/lib/ lib. a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux kernel/kernel.o(.data+0x91c): undefined reference to `sg_big_buff' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x59d5): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_pdc4030' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x59e6): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_ali14xx' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x59ed): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_umc8672' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x59f4): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_dtc2278' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x5a02): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_ht6560b' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text.init+0x5a09): In function `ide_setup': : undefined reference to `init_qd65xx' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Like I said, this is my first time trying to compile the kernel. Am I missing something/doing something wrong? I am following the kernel-HOWTO for directions.
