Re: 2.4.7 Kernel Modules Problem

Hiya

aren't you supposed to make the dependancies *after* making the config?

ie.
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
etc...?


ps. did you know you can keep your previous config files, and just type
make oldconfig
to bring them up to date?
