I looked in the file and found nothing wrong (in my lacking inexperience of
course)
except that in kdb_repeat and the kbd_rate functions or structures doesn't
seem to be declared anywhere.

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.
