I am sorry I forgot to mention I am not on the mailing list. I just discovered your reply a few minutes ago. I had prior to sending the original message searched on the internet for what I "needed" to know to proceed in my attempts. I am said to say at that time nothing in the many, and I did read many of the results litterally, about the programs I needed to update to that make be part of issue. Two days ago I did more and more searching and happened along some links, text files, and in fact the very file you referred to in your reply online. I then proceeded to get the SuSE varients I needed. Suffice to say the SuSE source RPMs had their share of problems in being compiled. In end after my tinkering of the SuSE source RPMs I managed to start up a 2.4.7 SuSE varient. I have not gone back to trying to compile the pre-patch kernel source I had problems with originally. The reason is simple, the memory observations I was keenly interested in indicated some possible issues. I have since send to the Kernel Mailing list my initial observations and a request on how I may be able to get the metric information on Kernel/Application memory use. That of course is a different issue and discussion from the eMail you were so kind to make a reply. Again I want to thank you or the time you took to reply and pointing me to where I should look for the solution. I do tend to read documentation much more than most, but sometimes I miss something or look in wrong place. In this case I looked in wrong places combined with me still learning some of the "finer" points of such Linux activities as compiling the Kernel. I at least now in event I forget to mention in future that I am not on the Kernel mailing list the mailing list archives are timely in their updates. Keith I really appreciate your feedback and time to answer. I cannot express this enough given my failure to indicate I was not on the mailing list, nor aware how frequent the list archive may be updated so I can find out if any replies were made to the list.

Specifically the "make modules" does not complete dues to some errors, the kernel compiles, but will not start after it is decompressed, if one uses the "-k -i" options of make for the modules to skip those that are really not a big concern to me anyway, there seems to be problems with "make modules_install" either not working or some other strange thing. Also what is installed in /lib/modules tree is not just modules, but some extensive set of the kernel source tree with object code mixed in for adventure of finding. All I really wanted to do was give the 2.4.8pre2 kernel a try to see if memory management was improved with the recent approaches. I did try a prior 2.4 kernel, not sure, but think it was 2.4.4 and it had its share of compile problems via make. Am I completely out to lunch here, or should I just hang in. I am doing ok with the 2.2.19 Linus Kernel with the Openwall patch, but I really would like to observe the work in memory management of the kernel to determine if may observations on how memory is management in the bigger picture to determine if I wish to offer my observations to the memory management discussion.
