RE: compiling & installing kernels
Issue a 'make mrproper' before starting your make menuconfig or
whatever. Just make sure to cp you .config before doing so, 'cause it
will wipe it out.

Ah fudge...
now for some reason when I try to make bzImage I get some weird errors
along the lines of:
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/include/linux/modules/ksyms.ver:546:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2
any ideas on what could be causing this?
maybe I should just re-install the kernel-source & start again..?
