I'm trying to compile the kernel source shipped w/ redhat 9.
I do the standard:

make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make modules

But then I get the following error when I run 'make modules':

make[2]: *** [dummy.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers/net'
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_net] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2

Also when I try 'make zImage', I get an error that says the system is too large (902 Kb), but looking through make xconfig, there's nothing more I can disable or make into a module w/o causing the system to be unbootable.
