I repated the build process with the kernel versions 2.4.25 and 2.4.27
and I got the same errors. I downloaded these kernels from
linux-mips.org through CVS.
Can someone please explain me the mistake that I seem to be
committing? I'm a newbie to Linux/MIPS arena and so find these errors
very confusing.
Thanks,
Shireesh
