[rhn-users] kernel build problems - linux-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL

[George R Goffe]

HOwdy,

I'm attempting to build a kernel from the distributed kernel source
code AND the distributed config file and am having a lot of trouble
doing so. Shouldn't I be able to take their config file and their
source WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES and build the EXACT SAME KERNEL? I
start from scratch by copying /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL to
another directory and doing my work there. To get the links I copy
the config file from the configs dir within the kernel to .config.
This file is EXACTLY the same as the /boot//boot/config-2.4.21-32.EL
file. I poke the save and quit button on the tcl/tk window and then
on the "make dep" warning popup. NOW THE .config file IS DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT I COPIED! I type make dep and then make bzImage and get
the messages below. I have just one question. Why does Redhat
distribute code and configs that DO NOT WORK? Next I go to make
xconfig again and remove the ah and esp from "network options" for
both ipv4 and ipv6. See error msgs below these.

And... here's what I get (below). Anyone have any ideas? Again, my
question stands. Why does Redhat distribute kernel source code and
config files if they don't work?
