Yeah, I had this today myself. I went under Device Drivers -> Networking
Support and turned off the TUX group. That fixed the compile issue; I'm
not sure how to fix it if you want to keep the enabled though.
Let me ask you a question or two. I was also trying to do a custom
2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 kernel, and I was able to get it all to compile with
the changes I made (which were a lot). But when I try to boot it I get
an error like this:
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
But the boot options are exactly the same as for every other kernel
version; so I must have turned off something critical, I'm just not sure
what. My root partition is on hda4, and it is ext3. Also, ever since I
tried booting my custom kernel that first time, rhgb doesn't start for
any kernel I boot, even though it is in all of the boot parameters. any
thoughts?
TIA,
