version: 2.0.40 ---> can't complied without any modif

[likan]

I download the kernel file of linux :linux-2.0.40.tar.bz2 and unzip it to the directory /usr/src/

Then:

1.make menuconfig ( just save the configuration)

2.make dep

3.make clean

4. make bzImage

But when i do this ,it can't work and the error message is :




`-m486' is deprecated. Use `-march=i486' or `-mcpu=i486' instead.

The repeated mention of the word 'obsolete' grabbed my attention. I think the problem is because you're trying to compile a kernel on a system where the kernel is much more up to date. You were attempting to compile the 2.0.40 version while most new distros are equipped with 2.4,2.5 or 2.6 kernel.

Thanks!!

My current kernul version is 2.4.20-8. Accroding to your words, the old kernel verison can't complie properly in a new kernel entironment ??

But I remember that linux have wonderful backward compatibility,......

BTW: If the version of gcc and the version of kernel is not consistent ,

such as :kernel-module version is mismatch
:./scull.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20
while this kernel is version 2.4.20-8


how could we deal with the version problem?

Not sure. I was quite surprised at myself for being able to answer the first question. I haven't been using Linux for long.
