2.4.21-pre7: make_install error for ide-Drivers

[Matthias Brinkmann]

Hello!

I compiled an 2.4.21-pre7 kernel with modularized IDE-Drivers. When I tried
to install
the modules, I got the following error:

Errors from make modules_install:
-------------------
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.21-pre7; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in

------------------

Consequenty an 'modprobe ide-cd' failed with this error:
--------------------
modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies!
modprobe: Circular dependency? ide-iops ide-lib ide ide-cd
Aborted
-----------------------

I want to add that I took the config from an 2.4.18 kernel, where the IDE
drivers
worked with no problem.

Could it be a problem that I cross-compiled the kernel on an Athlon/1200+
machine and
then copied the whole stuff to the target system (Pentiom 133)?

Some Ideas what went wrong? Bug, Feature or only my Dumbness?

Compiler: gcc 3.0.4
System: SuSE Linux 8.0

TIA,
Matthias
