Hi Peoples, I am trying to set up a 2.4.21-rc1 kernel. I grabbed linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 and patch-2.4.21-rc1.bz2 and did bunzip2 -c linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 | tar xfo - bunzip2 -c patch-2.4.21-rc1.bz2 | patch -p0 I then do cd linux-2.4.20 make xconfig which does rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts kconfig.tk make[1]: Entering directory `/home/burn/linux/linux-2.4.20/scripts' gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkcond.o tkcond.c gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c gcc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk ./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk drivers/ide/Config.in: 46: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate condition make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/burn/linux/linux-2.4.20/scripts' make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 How do I get past this? I assume that the -rc1 patch takes one from 2.4.20 to the 2.4.21-rc1 in one step. If not, I've also grabbed the preX-preY patches from the incr kernel site and incrementally patched from pre1 up to rc1 and I still get the above error. My host is a Xeon server - Redhat 8.0 running on a 2.4.20 kernel and gcc is gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.
