Try a make mrproper first, that seemed to help me. Be sure to backup
your .config file as it will be erased during the make mrproper.

Subject: Compiling kernel modules...
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I have never been able
to
successfully recompile the kernel with modules. I am using seawolf and
I
have looked up numerous articles on how to do it but none of the
procedures
I have read about have worked. I can recompile the kernel as long as
all of
the support I want is compiled in (no modules). I can include kernel
module
loader support and it seems to work fine on the newly compiled kernel,
'cept
I have no modules to insert because everytime I build the modules the
process fails. This is what I am doing:
# make menuconfig
- select the stuff i want, nothing fancy, exit saving changes.
# make dep clean modules
- make errors out during the modules part (usually Error 2) referencing
whatever things I have selected as modules (for example parallel port,
usb
stuff, stuff like that, things that are already running as modules in
the
default kernel)
# some books I have on the subject say to remove the existing module
support
from /lib/modules/'version', then after making the modules run # make
modules_install , thus installing them. Then I edit /etc/modules.conf
accordingly. Update lilo.conf, run lilo, then reboot. This is what I
know
to do thus far.
Like I said I can recompile the kernel successfully as long as I do not
select to make any of the items I want as modules, they compile fine if
I
just include them. As a note, I don't need any module support during
bootup, meaning all the support I need during boot I compile into the
kernel, thus eliminating the need to build and ramdisk image.
I haven't included all of the error details because I suspect that there
is
something simple that I am doing wrong that is causing this problem and
therefore what I have written here should be sufficient. I can include
specifics if needed.
