Re: latest kernel compile-- system panic

[nidhi mittal hada <nidhimittal19@xxxxxxxxx>]

yes
when i get unhinting errors -- i guessed something , changed a few params in .config and did make make modules so on 
but again same errors .
finally 
i copied earlier running kernel's .config into this ...didnot do make menuconfig at all 
and in .config changed my required parameter of ext4 to be build as module.
that's all 
now make , make modules , make modules_install , make install and 
it worked well

now my ques is ...is it right what i am doing ...
if not how to know correct parameter of .config 
isnt there some 
make <some>config   instead of menuconfig
which prepares correct .config file seeing hardware requirement on my pc or working kernel's .config file ...

Please CMIIW anywhere.

Where you put the kernel sources to build is not at all related to
these panics (Otherwise you don't need a build symlink in your
/lib/modules/<version>). Did you build the same config ?
