If I do a make oldconfig, then the error is different from after doing a make xconfig. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.compile kernel 2. 3. Actual Results: Various errors, depending on the config. Expected Results: clean compile Additional info:
did you start with a make mrproper ?
Try do the following: 1. Change into kernel directory cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 2. Save your config somewhere: cp .config /root/.config-backup 3. Make a proper cleaning of the kernel directory: make mrproper 4. Restore your config: cp /root/.config-backup . 5. Perform all the step necessary for kernel compilation: make menuconfig && make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules
OK, make mrproper did the trick. Thanks.
