I have the same problem as Steward Allen, and the previous answers do not help.

I did:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9

cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686.config .config
vi Makefile (to take the "custom" out of EXTRAVERSION)
make oldconfig
make dep

cd ~/wish-1.6.7

make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9

and get:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9/scripts/mkdep -- *.c > .depend
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9/scripts/mkdep -- *.h > .hdepend

and so on...

What did I do wrong?

Thanks, Willem Riede.

You might try making the symbolic link

cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.20-18.9 linux

Then try it.

Just in case something is hard coded for /usr/src/linux

Then leave off the KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.9

Actually, I tried that before I had seen the suggestion to use KERNELDIR.
Same problem. Other ideas, please?

Thanks, Willem Riede.

The problem is that with RedHat, something is messed up at the version numbers seem to have future dates so that they are not updated. Execute:

# rm -f include/linux/modules/*

from the linux root tree. Then proceed with the "make dep".

This seemed to solve Stewart's problem.

BTW...construction dug up the phone system in our area and Verizon won't have it fixed for a while so I won't be responding. I am at a friends house just checking important messages.

And it solved my problem too.

I did get my test installation to report that it was still in the
"initialization" phase even though it was fully working. I will try to
figure this one out. The impact is that you can't unload the driver if it
thinks it is busy.
