I don't think the people on this list are the one's to ask about this...
Mandrake did a number of modifications to their version of the kernel,
and therefore it is quite unlike the vanilla 2.4.22 source.
You'd be better served taking this up with Mandrake directly.

As others noted, a Mandrake-specific list is a better choice in this
instance, but the problem you noted below happens occasionally in 2.4
bleeding edge stuff, so I'm posting something for you to look for.

Try something like this in your /usr/src/linux directory:
$ find . -name [Cc]onfig.in | xargs grep "'y'"
./drivers/char/Config.in:if [ "$CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN2" = 'y' ] ; then
See the 'y' above? That's a mistake in 2.4.23-pre3. I don't have the
Mandrake 9.2rc1 kernel source, but you do, so find the bug and report it
to Mandrake. They most likely have this problem already fixed in cooker,
but at least you may be able to get your local system fixed.
There are other ways to cause make xconfig to fail as you described, but
this is one of the more common.

dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate
Replying to myself, apologies to all for the previous noise.
I hadn't looked at the error closely enough. My previous post was not
apropos to Anton's specific problem.
Try doing this from /usr/src/linux:
grep dep_ 3rdparty/lufs/Config.in
You'll see various lines with something like:
dep_tristate ' Some prompt' CONFIG_SOMETHING $CONFIG_SOMETHINGELSE
The $CONFIG_SOMETHINGELSE may be missing on some line. You can kludge
it by changing the dep_tristate to a plain tristate.
The Mandrake 9.2 rc2 is out now, so you might want to look at that
instead.
