Hi, a few days ago there was no one who had an answer, so i try it for a second time: I installed the 2.4.1 kernelsources in /usr/scr (and tried also /home/src), made a link to ./linux. Then in /usr/src/linux i had 'make menuconfig', after saving my configuration i had 'make dep clean'. Trying to compile linux-2.4.1.SuSE-3 (also tried 2.4.1 original kernel) make dep, make clean works with no error, but make bzImage ends in the following error: /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hw_irq.h: In function `x86_do_profile': In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/irq.h:57, from /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hardirq.h:6, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h:45, from /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:296, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h:23, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hw_irq.h:198: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hw_irq.h:198: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hw_irq.h:198: for each function it appears in.) /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h: In function `raise_softirq': In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:296, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h:23, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h:89: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h: In function `tasklet_schedule': /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h:160: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h: In function `tasklet_hi_schedule': /usr/src/linux/include/linux/interrupt.h:174: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h: In function `__constant_memcpy3d': In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/string.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h:23, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:17, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/binfmts.h:5, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:305: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h: In function `__memcpy3d': /usr/src/linux/include/asm/string.h:312: `current' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 All required packages described in Documentation/changes are installed. To be shure not to have a misconfigurated linux i made also a new installation with base,network, development packages and all the updates I need for 2.4 kernel. I feel a little bit desperated... Help would be nice...
