Kernel installation help

Post by Michael Segulj » Tue, 10 Nov 1998 04:00:00



I just compiled a new kernel, but after installing it and rebooting I'm
getting some errors about unresovled symbols with the modules. I can't
seem to find any info about what this could be or how to fix it.  I
don't really have enough experience with Linux to know what to do.
Could somebody help?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kernel installation help

You should tell us exactly what messages you are seeing.  It is not an
uncommon problem to have some error messages come up after compiling a
new kernel (at least it usually happens to me).  The fix for me is often
found in /etc/rc.d/rc.* -> where rc.* is something like rc.modules,
rc.inted(?), etc. (At least in my Slackware system).

Others more knowledgeable than me shoul dbe able ot help you when you
provide the specifics.

1. Curses Installation & Kernel Installation(make menuconfig)

Hi,
        I issued a 'make menuconfig' to compile a linux kernel after
installing the curses package. But I get the following(end of the mail)
error message. I have removed all the old include files from the
/usr/include directory. But still the same error message comes.

        Can you please help me out in this regards?

        Thanks in advance.

Regards,
C.G.Senthilkumar.

--The error message that I got--

rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig
Preparing scripts: functions,
parsing....................................done.

There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is
built prior to running Menuconfig.  Usually this is an indicator that
you
have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the
old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.

It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files
and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses
libraries
installed on your machine.

You may also need to rebuild lxdialog.  This can be done by moving to
the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the
"make clean all" command.
