Problem with 2.4.18 kernel downloaded from kernel.org

[Mike Ramsey]

during make modules it fails with

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/drivers'
make -C atm modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/drivers/atm'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/quintela/rpm/2418/BUILD/linux/include/linux/module.h', needed by
`eni.o'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/drivers/atm'
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_atm] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2

well as you can see there is a problem here.. The fact that quintela is
not a user on my system and i believe juan quintela to be a kernel
developer. I could be wrong here. anyway i decided to perform a grep -r
quintela /usr/src/linux/* > output.txt it generated a 3MB  txt file i'm 
not attaching as of yet do to its size. if you would like it let me
know. Otherwise please have this hard linked directory removed  from the
source so i don't need to compile  from that dirctory :P 

Thanks

Hmmh, 2.4.18 from kernel.org would not be in a directory called 
linux-2.4.18-6mdk, would it?

I don't know what you did, but you seemed to have messed something up 
between your tree and the tree your distribution provided.

Anyway, you can probably solve your problem by running "make dep". If that
does not help, try
