make menuconfig and 2.4.22-pre8

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

I can't make menuconfig with a 2.4.22-pre8 Kernel.

This is what I did:

grisey:/usr/src# tar -xjf ~orm/install/linux-2.4.21.tar.bz2 
grisey:/usr/src# rm -f linux
grisey:/usr/src# ln -s linux-2.4.21 linux
grisey:/usr/src# patch -p0 < patch-2.4.22-pre8 2>&1 \
> patch-2.4.22-pre8.log
grisey:/usr/src# cd linux
grisey:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in .config
Preparing scripts: functions, parsing

<...> 

(about 3 minutes of awk and kswapd constantly swapping, making the
whole system extremely unresponsive)

and then:

Beendet
Awk died with error code 143. Giving up.
make: *** [menuconfig] Fehler 1
grisey:/usr/src/linux#   


With the vanilla kernel 2.4.21 there are no problems at all.

Anybody interested in the patch log?

you are out of order with the above 2 lines.  Remove the link first, 
then unpack and rename the new kernel.

Nowadays linux-x.x.x.tar.gz unpacks into linux-x.x.x directory, so it
shoudn't matter.

Instead of "rm -f; ln -s" you could do "ln -nfs".

2.4.22-pre8 make dep bug?

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

Trying to make a 2.4.22-pre8 kernel fails. After patching a vanilla
2.4.21, copying my old menuconfig to the source and 'make oldconfig',
all working fine, make dep dies:

grisey:/usr/src/linux# make dep

Is this a bug or some mistake on my side?
