Specifically the "make modules" does not complete dues to some errors, the kernel compiles, but will not start after it is decompressed, if one uses the "-k -i" options of make for the modules to skip those that are really not a big concern to me anyway, there seems to be problems with "make modules_install" either not working or some other strange thing. Also what is installed in /lib/modules tree is not just modules, but some extensive set of the kernel source tree with object code mixed in for adventure of finding. All I really wanted to do was give the 2.4.8pre2 kernel a try to see if memory management was improved with the recent approaches. I did try a prior 2.4 kernel, not sure, but think it was 2.4.4 and it had its share of compile problems via make. Am I completely out to lunch here, or should I just hang in. I am doing ok with the 2.2.19 Linus Kernel with the Openwall patch, but I really would like to observe the work in memory management of the kernel to determine if may observations on how memory is management in the bigger picture to determine if I wish to offer my observations to the memory management discussion.
