[Techtalk] Trouble with Custom Kernel

[Beth Johnson]

I'm trying to install a custom kernel and am running into a problem with
the install.  When I get to the make bzImage or bzlilo step I'm getting
errors referencing my ethernet card.  The tail end of the messages with
the errors is here:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31/drivers/net'

This is a newly-installed kernel source so it's not like I've been
mucking around in these directories before the first try at make.

Any pointers would be appreciated, & let me know if I need to send more
of the output.

TIA,
Beth
