You do not say if it was a manual build or jhalfs.  We check our builds
using jhalfs to ensure the book's exact instructions are used.

I just mounted my test virtual file systems and entered chroot.

tar -xf linux-6.17.9.tar.xz
cd linux-6.17.9
make defconfig
make -j20

worked without any issue at all.

You might want to do a fsck on your new partition.  If it was a manual build
I'd suspect a error somewhere, but I do not have any idea where that could be.
