Hello all,
I tried to compile a new kernel from a distribution of version 2.1.54 and got an error, so I figured that there was a problem with the distribution. I then tried version 2.1.51 and got the same error, so I suppose that I messed up.
Here is what I did:
cd /usr/src rm -r linux-2.0.29 rm linux tar zxvf linux-2.1.51.tar.gz ln -s linux-2.1.51 linux cd linux make mrproper make oldconfig make dep ; make dep ; make zImage
... ... ...
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__ -traditional -c trampoline.S -o trampoline.o /tmp/cca05930.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cca05930.s:123: Error: Value of ffffffff40000000 too large for field of 4 bytes at 000000000000003d make[1]: *** [trampoline.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.1.51/arch/i386/kernel' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2
I also tried the xconfig method of configuring the features and options before doing the make's. Did I do the preparation ok? Did I miss anything? I have no experience in assembler, so
HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!
I'll make a log file of the make output so that I can include it if asked to later.
Thanks in advance!
Rem
