Re: [Sheflug] Kernel Install Problem

Another thing to try, if make dep & make clean are okay, run "make mrproper". 
You will lose your configuration, but this removes all crap dependancies and 
config and essentially gives you a pristine try to start building from.

So you'll need to:
	make mrproper
	make xconfig (or make menuconfig or make config)
	make dep
	make clean
	make bzImage
	make cup-of-tea
	make modules
	make modules_install

You /can/ save and restore the old config, but if the config if a little iffy 
(which it sounds like it might be) it'd be best to reconfigure from scratch 
after a make mrproper.

If you /do/ want to try a save & restore ...

	cp .config /tmp
	make mrproper
	cp /tmp/.config .
	make oldconfig

Then you can continue with:
	make config/menuconfig/xconfig
	make dep
	make clean
	.
	.
	.

But I'd recommend the first one (and do a full reconfig) just in case your 
current .config is broken.
