It may well be something simple, in which posting the errors you're
getting, as well as your .config, would be a solid first step.
Thank you very much for your answer mr Neakum,
Funny, but now i did the menuconfig again and clear, dep, bzImage, modules
and it is ok, maybe i missed removing some module before as i want to
compile a quite light kernel.
Many times i wanted to compile a kernel with just a fiew options and get
some errors, and when want to kompile with lot of options it's ok. I guess
there are some dependency problems, which are not handled properly by make
dep? And i heard somewhere that it is a common error.
Is there a dedicated site, forum about this problem?
Thanks again!

make dep is obsolete in 2.6

When reconfiguring a 2.4 kernel it is adviced to do a:
cp .config ..
make mrproper
cp ../.config .
make oldconfig
make dep
etc.
For 2.6 you can just run make, without cleaning up before.
To get a resonable small configuration you can start out with
"make allnoconfig", which compiles ok in 2.6 for now.

This is a good place - you can also try kernelnewbies.
