When I try to build the 'modules' target with linux it doesn't create the .ko files. It seems to get stuck at 'stage 2', whatever that means, and I am at a loss finding out what exactly stage 2 is, from looking at scripts/Makefile.modpost, and why it doesn't build.
This happens with either a vanilla-sources or gentoo-sources kernel and doesn't happen when I try to build the gentoo kernel from within another system, like a knoppix liveCD. # make V=1 modules rm -f .kernelrelease echo 2.6.17-rc4 > .kernelrelease set -e; echo ' CHK include/linux/version.h'; mkdir -p include/linux/; if [ `echo -n "2.6.17-rc4" | wc -c ` -gt 64 ]; then echo '"2.6.17-rc4" exceeds 64 characters' >&2; exit 1; fi; (echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \"2.6.17-rc4\"; echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE `expr 2 \\* 65536 + 6 \\* 256 + 17`; echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))'; ) < /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-rc4/Makefile > include/linux/version.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/version.h ] && cmp -s include/linux/version.h include/linux/version.h.tmp; then rm -f include/linux/version.h.tmp; else echo ' UPD include/linux/version.h'; mv -f include/linux/version.h.tmp include/linux/version.h; fi CHK include/linux/version.h make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic mkdir -p .tmp_versions rm -f .tmp_versions/* make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=. mkdir -p arch/x86_64/kernel/ make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts ...
