Re: compiling kernel error

[wendal@onyx.southwind.net]

I have applied the patch below and still am unable to compile the 
kernel-1.2.13. Let me know what kind of luck you have had.

As far as a patch to debinized 1.2.13 -- I'm not the maintianer, but I do 
seem to recall the maintaner saying something about the 1.2.13 kernel 
being so ELF unfriendly that it's difficult to maintain. 

The upside kernel 1.3.57 (maybe 58 or 59) is now packaged and think it will 
the kernel in the Debian-1.1 release. 

If you are attempting to move to ELF you might want to try this kernel 
version.
