Building the Kernel on Sparc64

Hi,
I have installed Aurora 1.0 on a Sparc Ultra 60 workstation and have
a command line system running (X doesn't work yet but that's another
question for later).

I have downloaded the 2.4.20 Kernel from www.kernel.org and started with the
default config file (defconfig) from the /usr/src/linux/arch/sparc64
directory. The first time I built the Kernel all was OK. However it didn't
load because the required scsi driver wasn't included. So I ran make
xconfig to add it. But then after a
make dep
make vmlinux

I go an error from fonts.c in driver/video indicating that no fonts were
defined.

#ifdef NO_FONTS
#error No fonts configured.
#endif

This error wouldn't go away until I did a

make mrproper
make oldconfig
make dep
make vmlinux

I then made another change to the Kernel config and the same thing happened.

Can anyone throw some light on this?

Thanks

Kevin
