Problems recompiling 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl

[Fernando Álvarez-Uría<fernando alvarez-uria ya com>]

Hi all!

Ive been testing Fedora Test3 in my laptop computer, and in my desktop 
pc, and i have found it a great distro.

However, im having some trubles with acpi in the laptop.

Linux 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl ships acpi devices compiled as modules. 
Whenever i try to modprobe battery.o, for example, i get:

...
battery.o: No such device
...

It happens the same modprobing ac, button, thermal, ...
If i try to recompile the kernel, only changing the acpi devices to "y" 
(which works great using 2.4.22-8 with acpi patch from acpi.sf.net), i get:

...
ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable 
(CONFIG_ZLIB_INFLATE).
ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable 
(CONFIG_ZLIB_DEFLATE).
...

Ive tried running make oldconfig, and using config from 
/boot/config-2.4.22-1.2088.nptl


Does anyone know why this happens?

Thank you.
