I run into this problem often, though not all the time. I go through and customize my kernel via xconfig, run "make dep && make bzImage && make modules" and let it go. I leave it at this because of the past experience in this problem, preferring to do "make install && make modules_install" after I know everything built properly. Anyway, the problem I often run into is a crash and burn during the making of modules. Invariably it involves ATM in some way, shape, or form.
There appears to be a problem somewhere in the kernel config system that fails to take proper account of dependencies between settings and modules because I set my kernel up, leaving ATM support up but somewhere, one of the options I chose NOT to add/retain kills the ability for the make modules process to continue. I haven't been able to localize the errant setting as yet. Usually, if you deselect something upon which a host of other items depends upon in xconfig, those subsequent options and modules are grayed-out and no longer available. This fails for ATM support. There appears to be some setting somewhere that ATM support requires but deselecting it fails to remove ATM support from being selectable. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone know what the kernel config requirements are (minimum) in order to have ATM modules build instead of killing the whole kernel build/install procedure because of this one little error? praedor
