kernel troubles?

[Sebastiaan <S.Breedveld@ITS.TUDelft.NL>]

Hi,

For some months I have been trying to compile kernels from 2.4.5 to 2.4.8,
but I still get the same errors and they does not seem to be solved in
later versions. Today I build a new config file from scratch, but still
unsuccesfull. The errors occur in the beginning of the compile and are
mostly redefinitions and undeclared. Any idea how I can solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a 
  *real* 32-bit system.
