Kernel 2.4.9 build fails on Mandrake 8.0 ( make modules_install 'isdn')

Kernel 2.4.9 build fails on Mandrake 8.0 ( make modules_install 'isdn')

[Chris Oxenreider]

Help.
On a freshly installed system using a version of Mandrake 8.0 from the 
free 'iso' images on the linux-mandrake sight this is what happens:


cd /usr/src
# remove the link in /usr/src
rm linux
bzip2 -dc /tmp/linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2|tar xvf - 
chown -R root.root linux
mv linux linux-2.4.9
ln -s linux-2.4.9 linux
cd linux-2.4.9
cp /boot/config-2.4.3-20mdk .config
echo Take default answers to all:
make oldconfig 
make dep ; echo made Dependancies && \
make clean ; echo made clean && \
make bzImage ; echo made bzImage && \
make modules 
make modules_install

when installing modules this error is generated:

---Lots of other compiler messages---

This patch should fix it:

Hmmm... with that patch, I get the following errors:

Do I have an out of date tool?

Well, I said should ;-) Maybe I should have tried...

Next try: (still untested)

Closer.

Had to add #include <linux/types.h> to the header file too.

Thanks!

Still compiling (only a P5/233).  But looks promising.

Yay.
