So i finally applied what looks to be the correct XFS patch, and I still can't get as far as 'make mrproper' without something blowing up. This is the same box that i've built every previous 2.4.x kernel since 2.4.0, without a hitch.
Any chance of you trying the full tarball?
That's what this came from :(
I've got 2.4.21 running fine on a P-4 machine and also now on an AMD-800.
Sound is broken on the AMD machine but I'm working on that now. No other problems that I see.
Yea, i built it just fine on a separate box earlier today. This is the 2nd box that i'm attempting, and there's no love at all.

After some digging it appears that the problem is that the $TOPDIR variable (referenced in various Makefiles) is never getting set and/or passed somewhere. $TOPDIR looks like it should be /usr/src/linux, and if i do 'export TOPDIR=/usr/src/linux', then 'make mrproper' completes successfully. Alternatively, if i just add 'TOPDIR=/usr/src/linux' to the top of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/DocBook, 'make mrproper' also completes successfully.
Unfortunately, this variable craziness just continues to propogate down hill, as when i do 'make xconfig' :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch//config.in', needed by `kconfig.tk'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
Its blowing up here because the $ARCH variable isn't getting passed either. Now i could play the game of hacking that variable into place too, but it just continues to spiral down.
So i'm really wondering what the hell is broken here?
