Here are more details on a problem I am having building 2.6.31.5
on a Pentium 4.

My .config file is exactly the same as it is on another Pentium 4 where
I can build with no problem, The difference is that that is Fedora11, and
the problem occurs on Fedora6.

I did a 
	make mrproper
	make -j3 bzImage ; make -j3 modules

I then did a
	make modules_install
	make install

and the install failed with the messages

[root@deneb linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv]# make install
sh /mnt/home/share/usr-src/kernels/linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv/arch/x86/boot/install.sh
 2.6.31.5-PPSv arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
                System.map "/boot"

 *** Missing file: arch/x86/boot/bzImage
 *** You need to run "make" before "make install".

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

I reran the
	make bzImage
and got the messages

[root@deneb linux-2.6.31.5-PPSv]# make bzImage

scanning on 
	sleep_on_common
I find it in 
	sched.c
doing a
	nm sched.o | grep sleep_on_common
I see

[reg@deneb kernel]$ nm sched.o | grep sleep_on_common
00000000 ? sleep_on_common
         U sleep_on_common

For __up, it is used in semaphore.c

doing
	nm semaphore.o | grep __up
I see
	00000000 ? __up
         U __up


I will assume that the problem is the '?' that nm is returning.
What can I do about that?
Any way to build this kernel on this OS?
I have tried copying this kernel built on another machine to this
machine, and had other problems (it just stopped during the load).
