Hi,
I have downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel from ftp.kernel.org, have checked its sign, and no matter what I try I cannot get it to compile.
I do a make mrproper, I then do make dep which is fine, but then i try "make bzImage modules modules_install", selecting all the defaults, and get an SMP header error:
http://rafb.net/paste/results/QzIq7v86.html
I then disable SMP support and get:
http://rafb.net/paste/results/muYA9t12.html
I even tried using my config from the 2.4.32 kernel which works perfectly fine, and I also get the sched errors.
I'd greatly appreciate any help. Using a different kernel is not an option, I need to use the 2.4.20 kernel for a project that a module was written and tested on.
Thanks!

What gcc version? Some old kernels might not be buildable with newer
compilers.

Otherwise, simply delete the directory include/asm and re-compile the
kernel from start; it should work.

Nope, include/asm is an expected directory (symlink) in 2.4.x build.
This is what you get without out:
make: *** No rule to make target `/var/linsrc/linux-2420/include/asm/param.h', needed by `/var/linsrc/linux-2420/include/linux/sched.h'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I see...
here is my gcc version:
gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
Is it too new?
Thanks!

Actually that helped, i had no linux symlink, after creating it, i got alot further into the build, however now i get:
In file included from ide-cd.c:318:
ide-cd.h:440: error: long, short, signed or unsigned used invalidly for `slot_tablelen'
make[3]: *** [ide-cd.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/ide'
Any more ideas? :)
