Hi,

I have downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel from ftp.kernel.org, have checked its sign, and no matter what I try I cannot get it to compile.

I do a make mrproper, I then do make dep which is fine, but then i try "make bzImage modules modules_install", selecting all the defaults, and get an SMP header error:

I then disable SMP support and get:

I even tried using my config from the 2.4.32 kernel which works perfectly fine, and I also get the sched errors.

What gcc version? Some old kernels might not be buildable with newer compilers.
