Hi Howard, Not sure if this is still relevant for you or not, but I've been having the same problem when trying to compile kernel 2.2.17 on a Redhat 7 system. I've done a quick search on google.com - http://www.google.com/search?q=checksum.o+Error+1&btnG=Google+Search And found a lot of references advising to modify the Makefile by setting HOSTCC = kgcc and (a few lines below this) change gcc to kgcc. This is due to RH7s "broken" gcc package. Don't know if/how well it works yet (might try it when I get home tonight) Dave >>> Howard Lowndes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/29 8:33 am >>> I am trying to cobble the 2.2.17 kernel and am getting the following error: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib' make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2 The specific piece of code appears to be: 226 227 #define SRC(y...) \ 228 9999: y; \ 229 .section __ex_table, "a"; \ 230 .long 9999b, 6001f ; \ 231 .previous 232 233 #define DST(y...) \ 234 9999: y; \ 235 .section __ex_table, "a"; \ 236 .long 9999b, 6002f ; \ 237 .previous 238 Can someone tell me what is wrong with this as this is the first time I have had a problem cobbling a kernel.
