Hi all, I have encountered two problems. 1.While compiling the kernel in an attempt to reduce its size after executing make clean make mrproper cp the kernel image make oldconfig make dep while executing make modules the following errors are encountered sysinfo.c:11:27: linux/compile.h: No such file or directory sysinfo.c: In function `svr4_sysinfo': sysinfo.c:85: `UTS_VERSION' undeclared (first use in this function) sysinfo.c:85: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sysinfo.c:85: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [sysinfo.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/abi/svr4' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_svr4] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/abi' make: *** [_mod_abi] Error 2 for make modules_install these errors are encountered make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/abi/svr4' mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.18-3Mykernel17apr/kernel/abi/svr4/ cp abi-svr4.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-3Mykernel17apr/kernel/abi/svr4/ cp: cannot stat `abi-svr4.o': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/abi/svr4' make[1]: *** [_modinst_svr4] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/abi' make: *** [_modinst_abi] Error 2 How do we rectify these? I am attaching the .config file as well. Inspite of having these errors when I boot, the kernel is working fine .Using this kernel I have developed boot and root floppies.So when I use the boot floppy after booting, a root floppy is inserted as soon as this is done the following error is encountered RAMDISK:compressed image found at block 0 Invalid compressed format(err=2) What is the reason for these errors and how do I overcome them.
