When I tried to make depend after config, I got the following: cc -Wall -o aic7xxx_asm ../../dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_asm.c /usr/lib/crt0.o: Undefined symbol `_getenv' referenced from text segment /usr/lib/crt0.o: Undefined symbol `__startup_setlocale' referenced from text segment /usr/lib/crt0.o: Undefined symbol `_exit' referenced from text segment /var/tmp/cc0002271.o: Undefined symbol `___sF' referenced from text segment [and lots more undefined symbol] hmm..it seems that I do not have the proper lib? but I have tried to reinstall by picking kernel-devlepment(or something like that) during the installation, and same thing happened. Does anyone know what/why this happens and how to solve the problem? I am a first timer at recompiling kernel, so I dont really have a clue. Oh, another thing, the fragmentation of one of my partiton is at 4.9%. Is it anything to worry about? Thanks in advance for any help :) Chun Chiu ------------------------- cchiu@uclink.berkeley.edu
