Re: Compiling kernel 2.6.23.1 HELP

Greetings,

This is not the proper forum for compilation help (if nothing is broken of course). You would probably get good help asking on fedora forum (or simply do a search there). Looking at your log it seems to more reflect headers missing than anything wrong with the kernel in it self.

If you fail to find anything useful, I can help you but please send me mail directly so we don't put additional weight on
this mailinglist.

Best wishes
Kristoffer Ericson
