Hi, before doing make, do make menuconfig or make xconfig and inspect the relevant options. I usually collect the chipset specs regarding the mainboard CPU and expansion cards and go through documentation and configuration (if needed). Mostly I just check that the drivers is enabled and if it should be module or built in.
