Trying to recompile my kernel (Gentoo 1.4_rc4) and it just exists with this error (I included alot, just scroll to the bottom to see where it dies).

Any ideas?

I am using the command - make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

NS

it looks like xfs support is gurgling out and dying, do you need xfs support? if not the easiest way to fix this is simply to take it out of the filesystems section

Er...... the drive is XFS....... I dont think it would be the best thing in the world to remove support for it.....

NS

have you tried a differnet set of kernel sources? i know gentoo comes wiht many try it with the vanilla kernel sources 2.4.21 from www.kernel.org
