 problem compiling kernel Hi, I am trying to recompile kernel 2.4.4 on my RH 7.3 machine. The kernel source is from www.kernel.org, not from the original distribution. Everything seems fine but the modules installation. When I do make modules, there is a lot of "nothing is done" message on the console and obviously not all the module files are being copied to the /lib/modules directory. I got the same message on a RH 9 machine as well. Is there anything I am missing or I have to use the original kernel source (part of the distribution) to do the recompilation(if this is the case, then I would be unable to upgrade my kernel then)? Thanks Keith      |

"make modules" doesn't install them all it does is compile them. "make modules_install" will install them. Notice the underscore ^ in the command. But why mess with that old of a kernel instead of the 2.4.25 release? -- Confucius: He who play in root, eventually kill tree.
