hi all, I was trying to install gentoo on my friend's pc and I faced a problem while compiling the kernel. everything went ok till "make modules_install" which gave me this error:
"depmod: unrersolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r7/fs/binfmt-elf.o
depmod: task_nice
make: ***[_modinst_post] Error1"
I was trying to install from the big iso (1.2 version) image and I used the stage3 file. I emerge rsync during the install to get the latest gentoo-sources (release 7).
I'm not sure if the module is binfmt-elf.o or binfmt_elf.o
so I continued but the system didn't boot for sure and was continually looking for this module.
can anybody explain this for me? whats the reason?
thanx in advance

You may want to configure "Kernel support for ELF binaries" to "Y" rather than as a module. This will prevent ELF support being compiled in as a module and potential problems. This setting is in the "General setup" section for kernel setup.
