Hai all, First of all excuse me for emailing this problem to the fedora-list. I don't know the suitability of such questions..... I have a Fedora Core-1 with 2.4.22 kernel I want to install 2.2.26 kernel for testing purpose of my modem drivers. So I downloaded the combat files and installed them. The make config command went ok, but I couldn't find the .config file where it is suppose to.. make dep..went smoothly. make bzImage and make zImage gave me following error message...I think it is mainly due to the fact that compiler is not properly set. Do I have to do anything else to make this work. I would appreciate anykind of help...
