Need help recompiling the kernel for SCSI support

#1 Post by ninjabob7 »

This is probably not a newbie question, but I am a newbie to Puppy (haven't even installed it properly yet), so I'll put it here.
I am trying to recompile the Puppy kernel with SCSI support. I am following directions found somewhere on the Puppy website. I got up to 'make modules_install' and got this error:

Code: Select all

find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.29; fi
Version requires old depmod, but couldn't run /sbin/depmod.old: No such file or
directory
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
What's wrong? Shouldn't this step just copy files to the /lib/modules directory?
The compiling environment is a fairly new LFS 6.1. It doesn't have very many packages yet, but worked fine when compiling its own kernel.

Try compiling the Puppy kernel in its own environment.
Just follow the instructions on the page.
