i'm installing Gentoo Linux 1.2 on an old machine and I'm at the step where you compile kernel files, and I get an error on the last step:

net/network.o : In function '11c_register_sap':
net/network.o : (.text+0x5ec3) : undefined reference to 'dev_add_pack'
net/network.o : (.text+0x5f55) : undefined reference to 'dev_remove_pack'
make : *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I can't boot without the bzImage! plz help.

thanx - birdmonkey15

What kernel and how did you install - from the internet or packages from the CD?
Gentoo 1.2 is like a 100 years old.

It's the 2.4.19-gentoo-r5 kernel it comes with. I got the ISO from an old DVD I had laying around. I just wanted a newer distro than my other ones. My next newest one is Slackware 8. I know, it's sad. I'm just doing this until my Ubuntu CDs come. 4-6 weeks is a long time ;(
