Description sontras 2000-10-19 09:43:41 UTC
Hi there,

how to reproduce the problem:

take a freshly installed RedHat 7.0 System
cd to /usr/src/linux,
run make menuconfig,
exit menuconfig saving .config,
make dep,
make bzImage,

and a lot of error messages will appear. As it seems it is not possible to create a new kernel without laying hands on the scripts or sources.
Any Ideas?

Thanks Gerhard

output of make bzImage follows:

You need to run make mrproper first.
