Hi!

I would like to upgrade my kernel 2.2.8 to 2.4.24 (then later 2.6...), my
kernel is 2.2.8 but my Slackware was installed from a 2.0.33 distribution.

1) Above all, should i do (before "make mrproper" and "make config") :

         cd /usr/include
         rm -f linux
         rm -f asm
         ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
         ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm

2) Do I "make mrproper" ?

3) When i "make dep", errors occur complaining about missing .h files in
   /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux directory...

4) Finally, when i "make bzImage", errors occur :

 In file included from
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/wait.h:13,
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/fs.h:12,
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/capability.h:17,
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/binfmts.h:5,
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/sched.h:9,
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/linux/mm.h:4,
       sched.c:23
 /usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include/kernel.h:74:
 error : syntax error before "av_list"
 function declaration isn't a prototype
 ...
 make[2]: *** [sched.o] error 1
 make[1]: *** [first_rule] error 2
 make: *** [_dir_kernel] error 2
