Kernel 2.4.9 build fails on Mandrake 8.0

Kernel 2.4.9 build fails on Mandrake 8.0

[Chris Oxenreider]

Help.
On a freshly installed system using a version of Mandrake 8.0 from the 
free 'iso' images on the linux-mandrake sight this is what happens:


cd /usr/src
# remove the link in /usr/src
rm linux
bzip2 -dc /tmp/linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2|tar xvf - 
chown -R root.root linux
mv linux linux-2.4.9
ln -s linux-2.4.9 linux
cd linux-2.4.9
cp /boot/config-2.4.3-20mdk .config
echo Take default answers to all:
make oldconfig 
make dep ; echo made Dependancies && \
make clean ; echo made clean && \
make bzImage ; echo made bzImage && \
make modules 

when compiling modules this error is generated:

add 

#include <linux/kernel.h>

IIRC this will do the trick, getting the min definition from kernel.h

Yes, add above line to fs/ntfs/unistr.c and all is fine.
