knoppix 3.3 feb edition will not compile kernel
Whenever I try to compile any kernel (with default config or otherwise) on the feb edition of knoppix 3.3, make always exits with error 2. The beta edition would compile the kernel sources, but the sound wouldn't work. Has anyone had a problem with this?

Do you mean something like this?

Make sure you have right asm symlink in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.x/iinclude pointing to asm-i386:
root@abc:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4/include# la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2004-04-05 19:27 asm -> asm-i386
There could be something wrong with symbolic link /usr/include/asm too (kernel headers).
You have removed old symlink linux 'rm -f linux' and made a new one pointing to your new kernel-source, e.g 'ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.5 linux'?
I have also had difficulties to compile the new kernel but after playing some times with asm and asm-generic symlinks I have succeeded. But there's something wrong somewhere, I agree.

coindood, welcome to the fold and if you want, check out posts under my nick. I did about a dozen kernel compiles and almost as many installs trying to get lm sensors to work with the last knoppix kernel - 2.4.24-xfs. Though I managed to trick out and get them to boot, programs would not compile without error against that kernel.
I am far from a distro proselitzer (sp?) but I finally switched to Kanotix (knoppix derivative) where the developer had a script for installing proper kernel source after a hd install and it works! I cannot believe how much smoother things are going. Including the dreaded lm sensors!
Everyone who responded to me that had been successful with lm sensors (which absolutely positively needs the running kernel source) had been running 2.2 or 2.4.22, not 2.4.24, as far as I can see. You might want to give the kanotix a try. It is still a baby comparatively (yes, it is wonderful kanotix fans!) and you cannot beat kano's script for getting the source kernel installed.
Knoppix is fabulous, but if you need kernel source on it, your best bet is http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppi...Custom_all.deb
I think a lot of programs will compile against it - lm sensors is the only one I know personally won't.

I think the problem is with linux-kernel-headers-knoppix. After removing it and installing linux-kernel-heades with Apt, no problem with 'make menuconfig' anymore

Thanks, everybody. I have been able to compile the kernel, but whenever I boot up, I get a fatal error saying it cannot mount the filesystem and just hangs there. I don't know what's wrong!

You are unable to mount the filesystem because Knoppix by default loads filesystem modules through initrd.
Try compiling your filesystem modules directly into your kernel.
