Lots of errors compiling modules!!

[jabz]

I have a Toshiba TE2100 laptop, I installed Fedora and updated the kernel to linux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl

I attempted to make a custom kernel compliing etc...
However when I issue make modules, I get errors in nearly ALL the modules it attempts to compile.
I get errors in ACPI, Filesystems, Network devices, Sound, IrDA, Serial, Parrallel Port, CPU specific modules, and more I cant remember. Basically a lot of things are complied into the kernel.

Each time it errors on compiling a module I have to add it into the kernel config instead of as a module.

Any idea what could be wrong? I even got this when I had RedHat 9 installed and attempted to compile a kernel.

Silly question: you do have the corresponding kernel source installed?

rpm -q kernel-source

What kind of errors? Maybe post a sample.

[Thoreau]

does everything go well when you "make menuconfig"? what about make install?

a sample would help, so we could see what the errors say.

I have since reloaded Fedora from scratch, as I found a lot of thing broke in my upgrade maybe due to the custom stuff, i.e. samba 3 and active directory auth, evolution 1.4.6 and connector etc..

I will grab the latest kernel and source tree, and try again... just after i figure out how to get evolution 1.4.6 and connector working.

Ok I've installed the latest kernel and kernel source via Yum. kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl

i have run "make menuconfig" which worked fine and selected my configuration etc..

When i try and run "make module" the following is the errors I get....

Basically this happens for every module I try and compile.
I have no idea whats wrong...
Any help much appreciated.

I want to compile hibernation support into the kernel but can't cause I wont be able to compile the modules.

[olenb2]

I am trying with kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl, and
all the module, and bzImage compilation is broken. Just trying to use a config loaded from
/boot/config-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl, before I start trying custom stuff. Does anyone know if fedora has changed the steps required to compile a kernel?

My steps are:
make xconfig :
1. Load previous config from /boot/....
2. save and exit
make dep
make bzImage (fails)
make modules (fails)

[olenb2]

I think in my steps, before make xconfig, I need to do a "make clean". That seems to solve my problem.
