Andrew,

Here is some info on your questions.

#1 - You are correct in that make dep is not necessary to build a 2.6
kernel. However, the instructions include make dep in order to be compatible
with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, as it is possible to build either a 2.4
kernel or a 2.6 kernel from the BSP. As a side note, it does not hurt/change
anything by running or not running a make dep when building a 2.6 kernel.

#2 - I'm not sure on this one as I don't have a Suse system and I have not
even taken a look at your issue.

#3 - There is a patch file attached to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Chris Lang

Hi Folks,

I recently received a development kit CD with instructions in the quickbuild
file to make dep then make the included image sources. I ran into the
following issues:

1. make dep is apparently not necessary with the 2.6 kernel. Not really a
problem necessarily...

2. SuSE 10 only (kumbuntu worked)

make[3]: Entering directory

        make[3]: *** [e2fsck] Error 1

3. In Kumbuntu I was unable to build the /dev/usb/... device files in the
romfs directory unless I built as root -- in which case the build worked and
booted fine on the 2348-4. However, even building as root I would have to
delete these device files before rebuilding.

Any thoughts on how to address these issues? Does anybody else use SuSE or
kumbuntu?

Thanks,

Andrew
