[WBEL-users] rebuilding kernel with e1000

[Ronald Rood]

Hi,

this was my first try to modify something in the kernel so I might have 
done it wrong or incomplete. The kernel had no support for the intel 
gigabit ethernet adapter so I tried to include it.

in /usr/src/linux-2.4 I ran
make mrproper
make xconfig and selected the module e1000 for gigabit networking.
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
so far, so good, no errors and
make modules_install which led to:
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} 
pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  
2.4.21-4.ELciber; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.ELciber/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.o
depmod:         e1000_clean

what did I do wrong ? or what did I miss ?
