Description of problem:
When building a kernel from kernel-source-2.4.18-4, using
configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config with no changes, I get:
| /sbin/genksyms  -k 2.4.18 >

In file included from 53c700.c:134:

CONFIG_53C700_MEM_MAPPED to use this scsi core."
53c700.c:155:22: 53c700_d.h: No such file or directory


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install kernel-source-2.4.18-4.rpm
2. build it, using configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config
3. examine log


Actual Results:  | /sbin/genksyms  -k 2.4.18 >

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-05-28 11:34:25 UTC

1) did you do a make oldconfig ?
2) did you do a make dep before make bzImage ?

Comment 2 D. Hugh Redelmeier 2002-05-28 17:11:14 UTC

1) I used xconfig, but made no changes with it.  Just save & exit
2) Yes, I did to a make dep before make bzImage.

I have a transcript, but it seems bulky (1 meg).  To make this concise, I'll
just show you the commands I issued.

Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:37 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
