make bzImage fails on ram disk code in 2.5.5

[Elias Dagher]

I am getting the following error when I do a make bzImage:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.5.5/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common 
-pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=rd  -c 
-o rd.o rd.c
rd.c: In function `rd_make_request':
rd.c:271: too many arguments to function
make[3]: *** [rd.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.5.5/drivers/block'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.5.5/drivers/block'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_block] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.5.5/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2


Can some one please tell me what the problem is so that I can correct it?  I 
want to use this kernel because of its new scheduler.

 Delete the 2nd arg.

 This, and other problems fixed in 2.5.6pre2, and 2.5.5-dj.
