Trying the make command did a lot more than before, but it still gives up with an error of type 1 after many many messages. Anyway, I've decided to completely rebuild/upgrade my kernel in hopes that it will fix the problem. So, my new issue is that after having downloaded and unzipped the src into /usr/linux/src and entering in a make menuconfig command gives me this error:
[root@neo linux]# make menuconfig rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-ppc asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog' /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status >> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries. >> >> You must have Ncurses installed in order >> to use 'make menuconfig' make[1]: *** [ncurses] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 Googling the came up with a lot of different suggestions, none of which has worked yet. I do have ncurses installed and even did an apt-get install ncurses* which has made no difference.
