Hello all,
 
I have two problems which I am trying to solve. I hope someone can help me with them. First, I am having problems recompiling the kernel on my server. I am using Debian 2.1 with kernel version 2.0.36. I type the commands to recompile the kernel in the following order:
make-kpkg clean
make menuconfig
make-kpkg --revision lee.001 kernel_image
 
After typing the last command, the system begins to compile the kernel. However, towards the end, no matter what I do, I get the following errors:
 
Non-GCC header of 'system'
Compressed size 20.
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/include -traditional -c head.S
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/include -O2 -DSTDC_HEADERS -c misc.c -o misc.o
ld -qmagic -Ttext 0xfffe0 -o bvmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000fffe0
misc.o: In function `fill_inbuf':
misc.o(.text+0x1ebc): undefined reference to `input_data'
misc.o(.text+0x1ec1): undefined reference to `input_len'
misc.o(.text+0x1ed7): undefined reference to `input_data'
make[3]: *** [bvmlinux] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/arch/i386/boot/compressed'
make[2]: *** [compressed/bvmlinux] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/arch/i386/boot'
make[1]: *** [bzImage] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36'
make: *** [build] Error 2
 
If someone could tell me possible causes for these errors and how to solve them I would appreciate it.
 
Second,
I continually get an 553 error in sendmail whenever I try to send a message as root from PINE or MUTT. I think the same problem that is causing the sendmail 553 problem is also causing an SMTP greeting error 421 in PINE or MUTT when logged in as a regular user. An ideas?
