Hi :-), 

-- One Liner: make dep is fine but block.o fails to compile

--Problem: 
Make menuconfig for a pretty standard kernel, set for no driver modules, make
bzImage fails at block.o,

# drivers/block/block.o: In function `lo_send':
# drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x895f): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'
# drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x89a9): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'

The currently running system is going along just fine with 2.4.2 no problems
at all, good uptime,
Ive built plenty of kernels easily before, ive re created this problem on three
machines with very different linux setups (kernel, distro, gcc version..)

(menuconfigs saved and attached as bloc.o-fail.gz)
