I tried to build the linux kernel 3.0.4 on ubuntu 11.10 in virtualbox. Here are my steps:

  1. Download the source code
  2. tar xjvf linux-source-3.0.0.tar.bz2
  3. cd linux-source-3.0.0
  4. make menuconfig, changed nothing but used the default config and save to .config
  5. make

Actually I think it should be 3.0.4 because from the Makefile I could see

VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 0
SUBLEVEL = 4
EXTRAVERSION =

Then at stage 2 which is to make modules, an error happened:

ERROR: "__modver_version_show" [drivers/staging/rts5139/rts5139.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Perhaps because 3.0.4 is a new release so that I can not find any same problem asked nor any solution to it.
