Re: [Sheflug] Kernel Install Problem

["Ian Wright" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just wondered if the kernel building problem could be due to the RedHat /
Mandrake dislike of gcc. This seems to be a 'feature' of the 2.4.x kernels
and is fixed by modifying the kernel Makefile to change the
cc = $(CONTRIB -something)gcc  line to cc = kgcc
