make modules failed

[Sam Pham <anhmn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to recompile RedHat 9, kernel version
2.4.20-8.  I was able to make bzImage successfully
(verified that file bzImage was generated under
arch/i386/boot/ directory).  However, I got whole
bunch of errors when make modules.  This kernel came
with RedHat 9 distribution, and my PC is just a
regular one with all common features (pentiumIII,
900Mhz, 128MB RAM,...).  So I don't understand why I
had errors such as:

make[3]: *** [module.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/sxp18m18/download/linux/linux-2.4.20-8/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers/addon/cipe'
make[2]: *** [_modsubdir_cipe] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/sxp18m18/download/linux/linux-2.4.20-8/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers/addon'
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_addon] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/sxp18m18/download/linux/linux-2.4.20-8/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2

Also, I didn't see the .config file when I first
installed RedHat.  So I did a make oldconfig to
generate one, but didn't know if this is the right
thing to do.  Any help is appreciated.

Sam
