I finally got thru a makeit, using the original version I last whacked at a year or so back. I blew the tree away, unpacked it fresh and did another make oldconfig. BOOM I copied the Makefile in from 3.12.9, edited the version & ran it, BOOM. I had some crypto stuff as modules, but finally I said the only thing I can do is lock out root, called up a make menuconfig, went down to the crypto section and set it to M for all previously cleared crypto things. Worked, the /lib/modules/3.13.2/crypto tree is created and populated and mkinitramfs works as advertised. Now for a boot test, but at least the SOB built. 15 minutes later, boot test is abject failure, only gets to "booting the kernel" on the tty screen and stops. One last q: What is the syntax to make this command line: ccache make -j2 bzImage Its using 98% of all 4 cores of this phenom, which is currently sitting at about 78.8F ATM, but which will be above 260F 3 to 4 seconds after I start a compile. Its ignoring the -j2 & lighting up all 4 cores like a movie marquee in gkrellm's cpu displays. Thanks for any more insight Randy.
