Problem compiling kernel.

[Martin Carlsson]

What is wrong with this explanation?
If you could read I said it wont compile even unpatched.
And its the 2.4.26 core im trying to compile.
Im running 2.6 core.
Read the whole post....
And why does it work on my debian machine?

_________________________________________
Im using kernel 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3. But I have tried compiling under 
different kernels from 2.6.9.

The hpc directory is there because the kernel is patched with openMosix 
support.
Ive tried an unpatched kernel too but then I just get other errors. Note 
that all this is working great under Debian.
Its the "make dep" part that fails. "make modules" and "make 
modules_install" is working fine. "make bzImage" isnt woring either.
The source is from kernel.org, yes.

I've checked the comm.o file too at the line specified but there is just 
a plain "}" without the quotes at that line.
Something is very fishy here. Anyways, I tried compiling the bzImage 
under debain and copying it to my fedora system but that doesnt work 
either, the system just hangs :(

What kernel source are you using?
Assuming you just want to compile linux-2.4.26
why not get the source from <http://www.kernel.org/> ?

I don't recall ever seeing a top directory called "hpc"?
What does it contain?
