If I knew for certain it was vi, I'd say so. I use emacs (both GNU
and Xemacs) and vi and occasionally a few others. Dumb programs that
don't try to outthink me I can live with. It's the ones that try to
be clever/inituitive/helpful and only half succeed are the ones I
curse.

you are calling vi a half-smart editor? =)

: Well line 2 was a comment.
I went ahead and deleted the comment line. No go still.

I don't know if the file is wrongly formatted or something.
Well there is a lot of crap output and then this:

Thanks for the reply. I copied the files to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
Got me a step further:
/lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB/build/include/linux/config.h:2: unterminated character constant
This usually means that you have a string that is missing the double quotes at the end, so open up config.h at line 2 and check for something that looks like:
#define SOMECONST "some text
note the missing double quote at the end. Just add the double quote and
to compile again.
The rest of these errors are ancilliary to the first one.
Good luck! -Steven

See the reasoning above. All files that need to be replaced to
build the kernel are in /boot: vmlinuz.autoconf.h, vmlinuz.config and vmlinuz.version.h. vmlinuz.autoconf.h and vmlinuz.version.h. have to be copied into /usr/src/linux/include/linux/{version,autoconf}.h Now
before please try properly the
compilation should do fine.
