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...

Jeeze!  The 2.2 kernel tree has been dead for at least two years.  Why
do you want to go back that far?

2.2 kernels were designed to be built with the old gcc 2.96 system.
The directives have changed between 2.96 and 3.x.  If you must go back,
make sure you change the "GCC=" directive in the Makefile to use "gcc296". Also be aware that the 2.2 kernel uses a different module
loading mechanism (/etc/conf.modules versus /etc/modules.conf) and the
kernel-utils and modutils packages are quite different.

Unless you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't try going back
to a 2.2 kernel.  You're much better off trying to port your modem
stuff to a 2.4 kernel.  Better yet, go to the current 2.6 kernel if
you can (FC2, FC3, or FC4), since the development work is going on in
the 2.6 tree.  IMHO, kernel 2.2 is dead and kernel 2.4 is on life
support.
