Trying to build Redhat kernel on Debian
Howdy,
this is probably the wrong list to ask this question but anyway:
I'm trying to install a package which needs kernel 2.4.2 as included
with Redhat 7.1 (apparently Redhat applied some patches which are
required). Since I very much dislike Redhat, I copied the source
tree for the kernel from a Redhat 7.1 machine to my Debian box.
Unfortunately after a make xconfig; make dep I get the errors listed below
when running "make modules". (Note: I get exactly the same results when
trying to recompile the kernel on the Redhat 7.1 box by the way, but ofcourse
this type of question isn't included in the standard 60-day websupport >-( ).
Anyway, if somebody could tell me what might be wrong I would very much
apreciate it since I realy need this exact kernel.
thanks in advance,
Nico
