problems compiling a kernel: from a newbie

[Darren R. Gitelman]

Dear list:

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what it is or how to solve it. I've gotten to the make dep part of making a kernel kernel and several dependencies seem unfulfilled.

In particular it cannot find stddef.h (which seems to be sitting in /usr/include/linux)
and a file called stdarg.h which seems to be buried away in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include)
and it complains that it cannot find the file limits.h which is included in limits.h

This all started when I upgraded to redhat 8.0 (or tried to). The installer said we recommend you change to an ext3 filesystem, but it seemed to forget to include ext3 support in the kernel with the install. So.. none of the filesystems want to mount.

I have booted using Tomsrtbt, mounted the filesystems appropriately, chroot, and I'm trying to build kernel 2.4.20 to get around this problem.

thanks,
Darren
