To Whom it May Concern:
I experienced a menuconfig crash and I am following the notication
instructions of the error message (pasted below). At the time of the
crash, I was in the sound configuration section and was entering the
ALSA configuration subsection. The kernel I was trying to configure was
a Mandrake 2.4.21 kernel: linux-2.4.21-0.18mdk.
Here is the error message:
-------------BEGINNING OF PASTED MATERIAL------------------------------
Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's
configuration files and is unable to continue. Here is the error
report:
Q> scripts/Menuconfig: line 832: MCmenu73: command not found
Please report this to the maintainer <[email protected]>. You may also
send a problem report to <[email protected]>.
Please indicate the kernel version you are trying to configure and
which menu you were trying to enter when this error occurred.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
------------END OF PASTED MATERIAL----------------------------------------
The system I was trying to configure this kernel on was an old 200 MHz
Pentium MMX with 64 MB of RAM (so old that it had PCI and USB, but no
AGP; the video card was plugged into a PCI slot).

This sounds like a known bug in at least one version of the Mandrake
kernel sources.
It doesn't occur in plain 2.4.21, please ask Mandrake for fixed kernel
sources.
