aic.. is that something to do with SCSI? if so.. block-major-8 is the SCSI
disk devices ("ls -l /dev | grep 8,"). don't have support for the SCSI
stuff.. you aren't going to be able to mount anything. Do you have the
initrd (initial ramdisk) support enabled? I understand that SCSI systems
need it so the related modules get installed correctly...
other than that:
make menuconfig (xconfig, etc).. menued configurations are always best to
use.
then:
make dep modules modules_install bzImage
you can string all the targets together in order. make clean is obsolete
for the most part.
modules are usually compiled before the kernel is.. that's how I do it at
least.
do you have the option about setting version info on all modules (near the
beginning of the config) enabled? (NOTE: in kernel 2.4.x, if you use ppp
and want it to be compiled into the kernel, you cannot use the version
info thingie.. dunno why they did that tho)
