    Hi,

    I can't make menuconfig with a 2.4.22-pre8 Kernel.

    This is what I did:

    grisey:/usr/src# tar -xjf ~orm/install/linux-2.4.21.tar.bz2
    grisey:/usr/src# rm -f linux
    grisey:/usr/src# ln -s linux-2.4.21 linux
    grisey:/usr/src# patch -p0 < patch-2.4.22-pre8 2>&1 \
    > patch-2.4.22-pre8.log
    grisey:/usr/src# cd linux
    grisey:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
    rm -f include/asm
    ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
    make -C scripts/lxdialog all
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts/lxdialog'
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts/lxdialog'
    /bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
    Using defaults found in .config
    Preparing scripts: functions, parsing

    <...>

    (about 3 minutes of awk and kswapd constantly swapping, making the
    whole system extremely unresponsive)

    and then:

    Beendet
    Awk died with error code 143. Giving up.
    make: *** [menuconfig] Fehler 1
    grisey:/usr/src/linux#

    With the vanilla kernel 2.4.21 there are no problems at all.

    Anybody interested in the patch log?
