kernel building for new drivers

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Got a couple of RH 2.1 AS systems on Dell PowerEdge 1650 systems. I have having trouble compiling the kernel to include new drivers. What is happening:

make[6]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers/scsi/isp'
make -C qla2xxx fastdep
make[6]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx'
make[6]: *** No rule to make target `fastdep'. Stop.
make[6]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx'
make[5]: *** [_sfdep_qla2xxx] Error 2
make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers/scsi'
make[4]: *** [fastdep] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers/scsi'
make[3]: *** [_sfdep_scsi] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers'
make[2]: *** [fastdep] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3/drivers'
make[1]: *** [_sfdep_drivers] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.3'
make: *** [dep-files] Error 2


Why do I get the "No rule to make target `fastdep'. Stop."?

You have selected the devices for which the files are not there in the source,,, try make menuconfig and remove them or select what all you require
