Kernel compilation : make modules fails

Hi,

I installed a fresh RedHat 9.0 distribution on my system. I'm trying to compile kernel with a new driver. The compilation steps I'm following are as below:
* make oldconfig
* make dep
* make bzImage
* make modules
* make modules_install

Till 'make bzImage' everything succeeds. However, 'make modules' fails.

Can someone help me out with this? Are there any known problems and solutions wit RH9.0 distribution of the kernel sources? The kernel version is 2.4.20.

Thanks in advance!!

Some kind of hint on how make modules fails? Clearly both 2.4.20 and the RH9 distribution works okay for others.
