Continuing with my kernel build saga.... I decided that seeing the gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 kernel worked at one time I would mv the .config for -r7 and cp the .config fron -r1 to -r7 and do "make oldconfig" I answered no to all new options and the build errored with:

I know that I'm becoming a PITA but I'm getting really frustrated here. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
