Hi all,

Version 5.1a PK4.

I have a problem when building a new kernel for a couple of my servers.
After selecting all the options it starts to build the kernel then stops
with this error message below. If I specify another name for the kernel
configuration file it works fine. On other servers with 5.1a pk4 applied it
works without a problem. If I specify another name for the kernel
configuration file it also works fine. Line 2 of the config file is just a
blank line with the ident line before and the start of the options after.


*** PERFORMING KERNEL BUILD ***

A log file listing special device files is located in /dev/MAKEDEV.log
Make: makedep, line 2: syntax error. Stop.

*** WARNING ***
An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
of the error log file (/sys/WPDE8/errs) follows:

Make: makedep, line 2: syntax error. Stop.
Press <RETURN> to continue:

Do you want to edit the configuration file? (y/n) [n]:

*** NOTE ***
A new kernel for this machine could not be successfully created.

Restoring original configuration file - /sys/conf/WPDE8


Has anyone seen this before or got any ideas as to what is going wrong?


Thanks in advance

Steve Copper
