[ILUG] Running Kernel 2.6.3 on Redhat 9

[Walter Faleiro]

These are the steps I followed
download mod-init-tools 3.2
configure them according to the Readme.
modutils 2..4.22 is installed on the redhat 9.0 system.

Download the kernel 2.6.3

make menuconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install



[root at localhost linux-2.6.3]# ls /lib/modules/
2.4.20-8  2.6.3
[root at localhost linux-2.6.3]# depmod -a
[root at localhost linux-2.6.3]# make install
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /home/src/linux-2.6.3/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.3arch/i386/boot/bzImage
System.map ""
No module BusLogic found for kernel 2.6.3
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2


But I still get the errro.
