kernel compilation failure

[n_e_t_e_o_s_y_s.]

I had been compiling linux kernel (version 2.6.34) over Mandriva 2010(64-bit) (kernel version 2.6.31.5), run on VirtualBox 3.0.0 over Windows(32-bit). I am not sure the failure is because of the discrepancy of which of the above. So, please consider the query if it is happening due to anything related to VirtualBox.

During

Code: Select all

make modules_install

, the system crashed while executing the last command

Code: Select all

DEPMOD 2.6.34

, when it creates the modules.dep. It seemed that few of the GNOME process have failed. And consequently, on reboot the system fails while coming up (while loading the modules), just after boot.

I tried running

Code: Select all

depmod -ae -F System.map-2.6.34 -v 2.6.34

explicitly, but it was in vain, same thing happened.

Please let me know if there is a solution to the problem. Thanks in advance.

I think you need VBox 3.2.x for kernels 2.6.34. The 3.2.x series has a lot of fixed for newer kernels.
