Astute readers with acute memories will remember my problems with compiling a 
2.4.2 kernel on a Debian sid box.

The answer to the problem for now was found by perusing some back numbers on 
the debian-user list.

In /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/Makefile, you need to replace all instances
of -oformat with --oformat.   

Worked for me.  I have take crossfire's advice though and have only put in a 
2.4.1 job.  Hopefully 2.4.3 when it comes out of the oven might help my SCSI 
problems with its new, allegedly much improved aic7xxx driver.
