error by compiling of RedHat 9 modules

["Patai Tamas" <tpatai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

After make bzImage the next step would be make modules that fails at the very begining.

 

The first error message reported is:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/include/linux/kernel.h:60: invalid suffix on integer constant

and so on.

 

The first problematic line in this header contains the following:

extern struct notifier_block *panic_notifier_list;
I searched for it and the panic_notifier_list is defined in the linux/modules/ksyms.ver but in a strange manner for me so I have no idea how to interpret it or what to do to eliminate the errors.

 

I guess others also should run into this problem by compiling the latest kernel available at ftp.redhat.com and any comments would be appreciated.

 

thanks

Tamas

 

 

And here are the compilation messages with the errors at the end:
