Hello,

I am trying to compile the 2.4.6 kernel patched with international kernel 
patch 2.4.3.1.  After using menuconfig to configure my kernel, I issued the 
command 'make clean dep'.  During the depend make process, I get this error 
message:

make -C devfs fastdep
make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.6-int/fs/devfs'

The problem seems to crop up while doing the depends in the fs/devpts 
directory, and then finally stops the depend make process after make has made 
it to the fs/efs directory.  I think the key is figuring out what is causing 
the "input/output error", but I am not sure how to do that.  What can you all 
suggest?

My system runs SuSE Linux 7.2 with 128M of memory and an AMD K6-2 400MHz 
processor.  The partiion /usr/src/linux is on is 77% used, so I don't think 
it is a space problem.  I do have dnetc (distributed.net's RC5 cruncher) 
running as a background process.  I have not tried the compile without it 
running, but I am not sure that would affect anything.  (Probably worth a 
shot though, huh?)

TIA,
Sean
