it's about 2.5.62

I can do a make bzImage correctly
I can do a make modules correctly

but

when I do a make modules_install I get a lot of
depmod: Unresolved Symbols in /lib/modules/2.5.62/xxxx/xxxxx/xxxx.ko

What ca I do in order to see what's happening?

Thanks.

Do you have module-init-tools installed? Kernels since 2.5.48 require
differed module utilities.

hello:

Yes, it was missing module-init-tools. Now I have my kernel compiled but when I try to boot, I can only see

Uncompressing Kernel... booting linux....

and then I cannot see nothing more but the HD is going up and down during half a minute, so I think something is happening but my screen is not updating.

What can I test in order to boot my system?

I'm behing a Sony Vaio N505-VE laptop.

Thanks.
