Linux kernel not compiling
I am trying to compile the Linux kernel, and I am having a problem. Whenever I run make install I get this:
Code:
tools/build -b bbootsect bsetup compressed/bvmlinux.out CURRENT > bzImage
Root device is (3, 4)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 2615 bytes.
System is 1130 kB
warning: kernel is too big for standalone boot from floppy
sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.20-8custom bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/System.map ""
+ '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']'
+ exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.20-8custom bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/System.map ''
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8custom is not a directory.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [install] Error 2
The steps I follow to compile are as follows:
1. I open the KDE kernel configure program (a graphical alternitive to make configure)
2. I run make symlinks dep
3. I run make clean
4. I run make install
I've also tryed without using make clean, and the error still happens.
BTW, I'm using
Red Hat Linux 9
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
512MB RAM
