GLUG Meeting on 13th July, 4pm at KReSIT, IIT Campus, Powai.
are you doing make modules make modules_install( do this only if the make modules finishes without error ) after 'make bzImage' ??
Hi, There is one more step needed to be carried out somewhere in between, not sure where...I think before "make modules". you need to say "make mrproper" also in case such errors come up. HTH

Maybe you can't buy happiness, but these days you can certainly charge it.
Thread root follows...
i have compiled the 2.4.20 kernel on my system. i've got the foll problems:
- i have usb port on my system, but i don't use
them. so i disabled the usb support. so i get the foll error while booting: "cannot initialise usb-uhci". is the above thing compulsory to be initialised? does it create any problems if it is not initialised? 2. i get the foll error on bootup: "cannot find module char-major-10.." what does the above error mean? what is it related to? what effects does it have on the system? how can i overcome the error? 3. i cannot get the system to auto-shutdown, as can be done on my default Red Hat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-3). how do i get the kernel to do an auto-shutdown?
i'll be very grateful, if someone could help me out with the above problems
