I try to compile my own kernel from source.. i tryied with 2.4.30/1/2 but there is the same error on compile :
In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.32/include/linux/prefetch.h:13,
                 from /usr/src/linux-2.4.32/include/linux/list.h:6,
                 from /usr/src/linux-2.4.32/include/linux/wait.h:14,

Re: Kernel 2.4.x

You need gcc3 or gcc2 to compile Kernel 2.4.X, it is not compatible with gcc4.

Re: Kernel 2.4.x

I wouldnt get into a habit with 2.4, support for it is being dropped in 8.0 afaik.
