Re: error by compiling of RedHat 9 modules

OK, I found a solution that seems to solve the errors, that is to skip all 
the MODVERSIONS related actions from the Makefile.
No too nice but managed to compile all the modules this way.

  Subject: error by compiling of RedHat 9 modules


  Hi,

  After make bzImage the next step would be make modules that fails at the 
very begining.

  The first error message reported is:
  /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/kernel.h:60: invalid suffix on 
integer constant
  and so on.

  The first problematic line in this header contains the following:
  extern struct notifier_block *panic_notifier_list;
  I searched for it and the panic_notifier_list is defined in the 
linux/modules/ksyms.ver but in a strange manner for me so I have no idea how 
to interpret it or what to do to eliminate the errors.

  I guess others also should run into this problem by compiling the latest 
kernel available at ftp.redhat.com and any comments would be appreciated.

  thanks
  Tamas


  And here are the compilation messages with the errors at the end:
