Hi all,

The kernel compilation for 2.4.5 gives the following error

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/portage/linux-2.4.5/work/linux-2.4.5/include -Wall
 -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe

so i copied the old config.bootcomp from 2.4.4.9 and said no to everything 
under video for linux section

and it compiled ... not a good solution if some one needs video for linux :(

and then with the linux extras compilation i got the following error 

Config file /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/.config not present!

so i did 

cp /tmp/portage/linux-2.4.5/work/linux-2.4.5/.config /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/

and it compiled without problems :)

maybe someone needs to look into this

Best Regards
Prakash Shetty
