2.4.xx won't recompile.

[Fred Jackson]

Hi ya,

I have a Redhat 7.1 system practically out of the box, and though I 
had no problem compiling 2.4.9 the first time around, I can't 
recompile it at all without deleting the directory and untaring the 
distribution again. 

any ideas?

thanks in advance!

Fred

I start with the usual 
make mrproper
make xconfig ( I load a kernel config file - originally created with 
2.4.8) 
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install

(i've already edited lilo.conf and the links in the /boot directory)
