Re: Compile Kernel 2.0.36



Check the following things:
1. HOWTO files, README files, etc. about which versions of tools you need
   to compile the 2.0.* series of kernels.
2. In particular, ensure that you have the correct versions of gcc,
   libc/glibc, binutils package, etc. in your system.
3. Configure your kernel properly (by means of make config or
   make xconfig).  In particular, tell it which processor type you have.

DISCLAIMER:  I never upgraded a system from 1.2.13 to 2.0.*.
