OK thanks for the few responses, Skylar, Fanie, Rob, Michael and Bob.
They essentially confirmed what I was starting to think:
>From Bob:
My box is too old and I should upgrade - preferably reinstall rather than
upgrade since the newer Redhats will probably have issues with 6.2. I would
do this anyway. It's just that the box is quite heavily customized to do
what I want.
>From Skylar Michael and Rob:
Check my versions of code. They were mostly too old. I had already upgraded
modutils to 2.4.20 though. However everything did actually compile.
o Gnu C 2.95.3 # gcc --version
o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version
o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v
o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version
o modutils 2.4.2 # insmod -V
o e2fsprogs 1.25 # tune2fs
o jfsutils 1.0.12 # fsck.jfs -V
o reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 # reiserfsck -V
2>&1|grep reis
erfsprogs
o pcmcia-cs 3.1.21 # cardmgr -V
o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version
o isdn4k-utils 3.1pre1 # isdnctrl 2>&1|grep
version
Fanie suggested I do a make mrproper after saving my .config. Already tried
that - no go.
So it looks like I'll have to make time to do a complete upgrade/install
Thanks
Christian
