I was getting that too. It isn't working.

Not sure. I don't think I got it either.

When I compile a kernel, I save the config file. If you haven't cleaned up
after your last compile, your source directory should have a file called
".config". If it is there, open it and make sure the CONFIG_QUOTA looks
like this:
CONFIG_QUOTA=y
Save the file, and then copy it to a backup just in case. Then do the
following:
make clean;
Make sure your .config file is there, if not copy the backup to .config.
Then proceed with the normal compile commands:
make dep:
make bzImage;
make modules;
make modules_install;
If you compiled the kernel you are running, with this source, then you
should have the same kernel with quota support.

Compile it yourself. It's good for you! :-)
Take care,
