Dear all, I downloaded version 2.6.9 of the kernel from kernel.org I went throught menuconfig, importing the configuration of my current 2.6.15-28-686.
I then tried to compile it but the compilation exits with an error (below). I also tried to do make mrproper, got rid of the .config file, made menuconfig again without importing anything, and when compiling it failed again. The reason for me to use this kernel is because I have a VIA VT82C 693A/598/686 chipset and I suffer from perf problems (which google says only happen since 2.6.10). Might I request to be personally CC'ed in the answers/comments posted in response to this post ? Many thanks in advance for your comments and help!
