I tried installing to RedHat 2.4.21-4...

1. Install card - no problem (it's a Sony Vaio with a
NEC device);
2. Download - no problem;
3-6. Patch - skipped (2.4.21-4 -- RedHat CD install);
7. make xconfig - no problem (specified modules);
8. Build the kernel and modules:
# make dep - no problem;
# make bzImage - no problem;
# make modules - ERROR!

- Compile of ieee1394_core.c fails miserably. Seems
like it might be a Makefile problem, but don't want to
mess things up if someone knows how to work around
this. The ultimate target is, of course:

DRIVERS-$(CONFIG_IEEE1394) +=
drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394drv.o

Is this a redhat problem?

Am I doing something wrong?

Do I need to remove the original module first? - (It
seems like xconfig set up the need to compile the
failing ieee1394 driver. It's version is 0.9.0-9. Can
I remove it or just replace it with something from the
0.10 download to get around this?

What else can I send you to help with this?

I'm new to working at this level on Linux (obviously),
so any help at will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
