[ale] RedHat 7.0

[Stephen F Nicholas]

Ok, Ok,
I know the general consensus is NOT to load RH 7.0.  I went to ALS and
purchased 7.0.  gnome is getting REALLY memory hungry video wise.  fvwm
worked in 32 bit mode just fine with my Diamond 4 mb card under 5.2.  6.1
went down to 24 bit color, and 7.0 went down to 16 bit color.

I can't compile kernel 2.2.16 from RH's cd.  It bombs real fast.  Since I
d/l'd 2.2.17 I don't have the error messages from 2.2.16.  HOWEVER, I DO
have the error messages from kernel 2.2.17 downloaded from kernel.org.  I
did a make dep, make clean ok.  make bzImage blew with the following error
message:

cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include -D__ASSEMBLY__
-traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o
checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2


I saw a previous message saying to use kgcc instead of gcc.  I tried both,
to no avail.  Suggestions??  I'm not a programmer, but I try and do my
research.
