Hello all,

I am running Redhat 8.0 on my laptop using a 2.4.18 kernel.  In the interest
of learning more about Linux, I decided to compile my own Kernel.  I downloaded
2.4.20 from Kernel.org and did a "make xconfig" "make clean" "make depend"
which went fine.  When I got to 'make bzImage'  I got the following error
message:


/home/scott/junk/linux/linux/include/asm/system.h:148:9: warning: multi-line
str
ing literals are deprecated
timer.c:35: conflicting types for `xtime'
/home/scott/junk/linux/linux/include/linux/sched.h:537: previous declaration
of
`xtime'
make[2]: *** [timer.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/junk/linux/linux/kernel'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/junk/linux/linux/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2


Of course it shut down after that.  Could someone explain how I am getting
a conflicting  'xtime' error.


Also, all the books I am reading state that I need to softlink this to Lilo
using Liloconfig.  The problem is that I am using Grub2 for this computer
so running liloconfig is not an option.  There is no grubconfig that I can
find but I only used the "whereis" and "which" command to try and find it.
 

FYI: I am using grub2 not only to load different kernels but also to load
Win2K if that makes a difference.


Any suggestions??

Scott
