[OS:N:] Failed Compiling the RH 9.0 Kernel

Hello,

I realize I experience the same problem that Palle experineced a month
ago (see below).

I fail compiling the kernel (compilation error while "make bzImage").
See Palle's description of error below.

Here is what I do :
- I'm not an experimented Linux administrator. I love RedHat and I use
it on a desktop computer (private stuff, not professional).
- I bought a brand new HP Pavillion ze 5400 and I struggle install RH
9.0 on it. Therefore I follow the instructions given on this Web page:
http://home.elp.rr.com/mcghees/ze5470us.htm
- I installed RH 9.0 (all packages from the 3 CDs of binary
distribution). Therefore, I have the sources of kernel 2.4.20-8 on the
machine. I have kudzu and pcmcia not started (as instructed by the
WebPage)
- I installed the acpi patch (acpi-20021212-2.4.20.diff.gz) as
requested.
- I configured the kernel compilation options as requested in the Web
page ("make xconfig"):
a/ I chose "Pentium II / Celeron / Pentium Pro" under the processor type
and features button (I have an Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz on the labtop).I
selected 'n' n for Toshiba and Dell Laptop support.  I made sure Local
APIC support on uniprocessors is set to n. 
b/ Under the General setup button,  I selected the ACPI Support button,
selected y for everything except Toshiba Laptop Extras. 
c/ under the FileSystems button, I selected m for NTFS system support
- I started compile the kernel. "Make dep" went OK. But "make bzImage"
went wrong and produced the compilation error.
 
Hope you can help me because this goes beyond my capabilities.

Fred
