building linux kernel 3.0.4

[Pritam Bankar]

make defconfig takes default options present in config file at (
arch/x86/configs/") of particular architecture say x86_64_defconfig
<http://lxr.linux.no/linux+*/arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig>  which is
present in source code. Out of these modules you might not be needing all.
So try using make oldconfig instead of make defconfig.

I wonder if my Vmware workstation is creating a problem?

Or 
If I am using make defconfig why are these modules not bulit.
Please help I am stuck.

Thanks and Regards
