Yeah, I am doing the same way. One more thing, I tried all combos of
enabling the CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_NETFILTER options, and the
compilation bails out at different places. 

In the very first place, I did a `make oldconfig', instead of `make
config,' assuming that my old configuration will be taken up as is. This
produced the .config file which had CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_NETFILTER
options _disabled_ .

Now I am again stuck with the same problem of the kernel 2.4.4 not
compiling. Google search for the exact error messages resulted in mail
threads with the same kind of problems I have, but no answers to them.

I am now unable to figure out what to do. Can anyone suggest me
something ?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
