What's the command line you're using? It seems like you have "make clean" 
in there, no big surprise that that breaks.

You applied patches which affect the build without mentioning them. You
didn't answer a single question I asked. That makes it hard to help you.

I had the bright idea of taking the clean out of there, so I was left
with
make dep bzImage modules_install 2>&1 |tee foo

but that didn't help -- thought it would.

I have once seen something similar.
Have you tried "make mrproper" to clean up and try again?

Re: 2.5.21 make problem

[John covici]

I did the mrproper then the make with the clean and then the make
without the clean in that order and still no results.

Could you mail me your .config and the exact commands which lead to the
failure (off-list). Actually, can you send your top-level Makefile as
well.

Can you reproduce the problem on an clean kernel.org tree (no further
patches applied? I suspect something went wrong with the extra patches you 
applied.

2.5.21 make problem

[John covici]

Hi.  I am having a terrible time compiling 2.5.21 -- first some
missing includes which I think I have fixed and now at the very end
of the process after the modules have been installed I get the
following:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.21/arch/i386/boot'
gcc -E  -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA -DRAMDISK=512 bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s
as -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.5.21/include/linux/compile.h', needed by `bsetup.s'.  Stop.

Any help would be appreciated with this.

I suppose that means that compile.h does not exist at that location, for 
whichever reason. If you do "make" (or just "make SUBDIRS=init"), it 
should be generated. Does it output something something like "Generating 
../include/linux/compile.h"?

Is scripts/mkcompile_h executable?
