Kernel 2.4.18-18 Compile Problems..

[Christopher Wagner]

Thanks Mark and ME, I appreciate the extensive help.  Of course, the power
supply fried in that box on Friday night so it's down right now. (Waiting
for a warranty replacement)  I'll try the new kernel as soon as the machine
is up and running.  Thanks again.

I think I will come to the conclusion that there is something stinky with 
RedHat's 2.4.18-18 kernel source package.

On one of my stock Red Hat 7.3 boxes I compiled the 2.4.18-4 kernel and 
modules without a problem using their stock config for my platform.  Then I 
installed the new 2.4.18-18 kernel and proceeded to do the same thing.  No 
Deal man, it bombed during compilation of the modules.

Go get 2.4.18-19 and give it a go.... ; )  It came out yesterday.....  I
will 
also...
