Hi all,

I downloaded kernel 2.4.20 in my home directory. switched to root. I
did 'make xconfig'. Din't do any changes, saved and exit. on command
prompt I typed 'make dep' which was successful and then 'make'. The
result of make was as follows: (these are the last few lines of the
output)

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/vineet/linux-2.4.20/drivers/ide'
