Just did an Everything install via nfs of RC1. Install proceeded fine, and reboot successful. X starts successfully. Hardware: IBM Netfinity 3000 PIII 600 440BX motherboard INTEL USB controller S3 Virge video card EEPro 100 NIC FIrst attempt was kernel compile. make mrpoper works fine make oldconfig is fine but halts with options that are new (answering yes or no works for these) make xconfig fails with following dump: [root@jay linux-2.4]# make xconfig rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts kconfig.tk make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1/scripts' cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk ./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_vs/Config.in: 9: incorrect argument make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1/scripts' make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 make menuconfig successful. Havent finished the compile yet... but the xconfig thing bugs me. After I finish the compile ( probably tomorrow) I will update this. Note, this is done immediately after a new install of RC1, custom install with everything selected.
The most correct thing to do is "make mrproper" followed by copying the correct file out of the configs directory, followed by make config or make xconfig or make oldconfig. However, this is still a bug. :-)
Fixed. The fix will be in the next kernel-build.
