Judging by the error messages, I'd check to make sure your character
handling is kosher. That is, the way your terminal does characters.

However:

I bet if you go to the file
/usr/src/linux-2.4.10-pre2/include/linux/vt_kern.h (line 35) there is an
easy to fix bug. Looks like someone left out a semicolon or a quotation
mark by the error. So, just make that modification into the source and
recompile. Should be cake, though it may be a bit daunting if you
haven't ever programmed before.

Cheers,
