Critical need for compiling kernel in redhat 9

[Hitping]

Hello All,
I've written a file system and now need to compile it for my Redhat 9 kernel(2.4) to test it.
But this is not possible because of kernel's compile error:
when I use these commands :
make xconfig ; make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install
It turns out a parse error in "make module" stage,and when I disable some modules in config file,then the result Image cannot boot my system: "Unable to mount root filesystem on ...".
Please tell me how I can compile my kernel 2.4 ?
Or tell me if there is another way for compiling my filesystem standalone under current kernel version without compile kernel?

Regards.

It turns out a parse error in "make module" stage

You should investigate on that error.
(And give us the details if you need help).

and when I disable some modules in config file,then the result Image cannot boot my system: "Unable to mount root filesystem on ...".

Your filesystem for the root device shall not be compiled as module, because the kernel needs to have access to the filesystem, to load a module.
Chicken-egg problem.
