Have you updated all the softwares as specified by the file Changes in th= e Documentation directory of your kernel source tree? In particular for 2.4.17 at least: o Gnu C 2.95.3 # gcc --version o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version o modutils 2.4.2 # insmod -V o e2fsprogs 1.25 # tune2fs o reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j # reiserfsck 2>&1|grep = reiserfsprogs o pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 # cardmgr -V o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version o isdn4k-utils 3.1pre1 # isdnctrl 2>&1|grep ve= rsion I also have R.H. 6.2 and I did many upgrades to have 2.4 running. It is not sufficient to have a successful compilation for a successful (a= nd safe) system running 2.4 kernels.
