Subject: Building LVM 2


I'm having a little trouble following directions:

I'm trying to build a new kernel with 'dm'.

Should I be issuing the 'make modules modules-install' after building the
new kernel or not.  This doesn't appear in the LVM pages I've seen, but it
does appear in the Redhat documentation on rebuilding the kernel.

Thanks
Tas


I am getting the following errors during "make modules"
