It would appear that my system ran out of disk space while trying to compile the 2.6.10 kernel. After moving /usr/src to a different partition and symlinking it back so things would still work I can no longer compile anything from source-code and I am not a pre-packaged type of guy.

I don't want to resort to reinstalling my system but if that is my honestly true last resort then sobeit and I will but I'd like to try some other solutions first.

Any and all help/suggestions would be of great appreciation.

Uh this won't work.......you need to edit /etc/fstab to show the partition where /usr/src/ is at..........

you can symlink /usr/src/linux-2.4.16 > /usr/src/linux

but /usr/src/ needs to have its partition designated in /etc/fstab

This is how I have it set up currently, I didn't know /usr/src could be it's own partition let-alone have to be designated in fstab.

root@skoll:~# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 /tmp reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

HA! folks, problem solved it's all better now, for anyone who wants to play with dietlibc ... DON'T! .... if anything don't do a make install on the source ... that will just break everything.
