Hi, I managed to compile my kernel without any errors and reboot with the new image. It fails for some options while booting which I think won't harm compiling videodevX. For example it says it can't locate usb_uhci or cannot get ip address. I now understand that these can be corrected by make xconfig. But there are no unresolved symbol errors while booting the image or any other errors besides some failures. Then I did make and make install in videodevX directory. It didn't give errors either. But after I did "modrpobe bttv", it said it can't locate module bttv. I enabled "loadable module support" so what could be the reason that it can't locate bttv? And another question if you don't mind: Now I boot my system with the new image but if I want to do "make xconfig" again, shall I do it with the new kernel image or shall boot the system with the old image which was before kernel compilation and then do "make xconfig" in it?
