LinuxQuestions.org - Building kernel 2.6 test 7 on Fedora (RedHat) probs

Hello all,

I'm trying to install the new kernel 2.6 test 7 for fun. Downloaded it at kernel.org and untarred. No probs at all, running make clean/mrproper and xconfig. No probs. Running make bzImage, 100% done. Running make modules >> error:

I installed the Dutch version of Fedora 0.95 (its based on RedHat, so it doesn't matter much). But I'm actually a newb im trying to lean how to compile the kernel. I'm struck at this make error ("Fout" is dutch for "Error" :)) Could anybody please help?
What if I continue to build and enter "make modules_install" and copy the bzImage? Does it work or will I have to wait until the make modules error is fixed??

How can I solve this "structure has no member named 'tty'" problem?
Thanks a lot folks!!!

Regards
Wouter
