Re: make *config & benh 2.4.20

["Charles R. Twardy" <ctwardy@mail.csse.monash.edu.au>]

Sorry. Me again. I wiped /usr/src/linux and rsync'd again and now the old
problem is back: "make xconfig" breaks complaining:

amelia:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/benh_kernel/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/ppc/config.in >> kconfig.tk
drivers/video/Config.in: 216: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate
condition
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/benh_kernel/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2


This is very frustrating.  I did this because the MOL install had asked me
to replace /usr/include/linux with a link to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
before compiling. (Likewise with /usr/include/asm.)

So I did. And MOL compiled. But it refused to run, complaining of a module
mismatch, even though it reported:
	  Running kernel:         2.4.20-pre7-ben0-noav
	--------------------------------------------------------------
	  Available modules:
	    2.4.20-pre7-ben0      in /usr/local/lib/mol/0.9.65

I was running the precompiled kernel and I thought I'd recompile to get
rid of the "-noav" tag and make sure the kernel and MOL completely agreed.
So I tried to run "make xconfig". And got the error above.

It seems I'm doing something wrong. Please help?
