What .config did you use? If you just made small
modifications it would
be nice to write which ones (you can use diff).

How can i do this ???
i over written the .config file that was there with the
one that
is provided by the 2.6.18.6 <http://2.6.18.6>
<http://2.6.18.6> <http://2.6.18.6>
kernel by default. i just did minor modifications like
add sata
driver support because it was not enabled.
The kernel has changed quite a lot since .18.
If you want to use the existing 2.6.18 .config file (which *is*
reasonable!), you need to run
$ make clean
$ make oldconfig
This takes and updates the .config file with all the stuff that's
been added since 2.6.18, while prompting you to choose what "new
stuff" you want added to your kernel.
thanks - will try this - but the tutorial says to remove the line
# CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config"
out of the config file -- is this necessary ??????
There *is* such a line in my /usr/src/linux/.config, but there is no
corresponding /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/.config.
So, I have no definitive answer to your question.
I am sorry - if you follow this tutorial ---
http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian
you will see it .
I was referring to the config file located in /boot/config .....
But it gets copied to /usr/src/linux/, and that's the file that
"make" uses to build the kernel.
