Compiling problems with 2.4

[T. <Ren...@gm...>]

Hello everybody!

Yesterday I finally got a 2.4 kernel compiled with the attatched config!
After that I played a little with this config and tried different
compilations, but none of them succeded! So I thought I'll try the
original config with what I got the running kernel compiled and so I
compiled it again. But that did not work! (I started different tries and
there were also no empty .a or .o files)! I always got the following
error:

ld -T arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds -Ttext 0xc0000000 -Bstatic
arch/ppc/kernel/head.o init/main.o init/version.o \
        --start-group \

drivers/char/char.o(.text.init+0x258): relocation truncated to fit:
R_PPC_REL24 lp_init
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

What  does this mean? And why could I not compile the same config again?
And how do I compile a 2.4 kernel that can use my printer on the
parallel port?

Questions and more questions!

Many thanx for your already provided assistance!
Kind regards
