Help a newbie: "make modules_install" causes depmod errors for EVERY module on EVERY kernel I try?
For some reason I can't compile a kernel anymore. I recently installed gnome 2.4 from source (the only major system change I can think of). Now when I try to compile 2.4.21, make modules_install gives depmod errors for EVERY module, even dummy.o in the case of an out-of-the-box kernel configuration. This behavior happens on every kernel that I've tried. This is using the typical make mrproper, make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install sequence of stuff.
In the process of building gnome I had to update ld from an RPM (couldn't install it from source, e-mail me if you want details on that).
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)... I'm at a loss about what to do.

Could you be more precise? Which is the text of the error?
Happens when compiling other software? I'm not sure about what you call a 'depmod error' O:)
If you give more information I'm sure we can find the problem ;)

What's the compiler version you use? Try gcc -v. If it's a 3.xx, then the kernel won't compile properly. If I am not mistaken, 2.95.4 is recommended.
Yours, Thom
