Kernel 2.4.18-18 Compile Problems..

[Christopher Wagner]

That's a good idea..  <Trying>

Ok...  Had to tweak a litle to get it to compile the bzImage, but no probs
there.

My make modules returned a similar error:
--
<snip text similar to below>

The whole set of errors actually extends to probably a couple thousand
lines.  Bizarre, no?

My guess is there's some utility on my computer that is missing to parse the
files that it's reporting "nondigits in number and not hexadecimal". <sighs>

Any ideas?

After I read this whole thread I wondered.... is it the system or the 
configuration....

When you install kernel source from rpm on a Red Hat box the default configs

that Red Hat uses to compile their kernels are included in a directory
called 
'configs' in the kernel source directory.  Why not pick the config for your 
processor, copy it to the source root dir as .config and do a test compile
of 
the kernel source using Red Hat's default config.  This might rule out
system 
problems regarding kernel compilation.  Then you can concentrate on your 
specific config.

Just a thought....  I hate chasing goblins...  Give me a known... and we can

work from there...
