Hi all.
Im trying to build 2.4.19 with the command:
make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image
It fails after running through the whole process with error message that
follows.
what i do:
1. download source from mirror and extract it in /usr/local/src/
2. copy the config-2.4.18-686 from boot and give it name .config so that
i only use the new options in new kernel.
3. edit source according to reference from binutils
4 run command with the initrd option bacause my stock 2.4.18 debian
kernel uses it.
It fails to build proparly and i end up with these files in the kernel
directry:
drivers lib stamp-debian
Rules.make fs mm stamp-kernel-configure
Documentation System.map include net vmlinux
MAINTAINERS arch init scripts
Makefile conf.vars ipc stamp-build
README debian kernel stamp-configure
Help needed please, cant find anything on the internet referring to this
problem.
