There seems to be something odd ... Are you using the stock YDL 2.1 kernel
source or did you install it yourself? I would delete and then re-install
the sources just to be sure. These are the packages you want to re-install:
kernel-2.4.10-12a
kernel-source-2.4.10-12a
kernel-headers-2.4.10-12a
You can find these rpms on your YDL CD. Force an upgrade using:
rpm -Uvh --force kernel-headers-2.4.10-12a
rpm -Uvh --force kernel-source-2.4.10-12a
rpm -Uvh --force kernel-2.4.10-12a
Make sure /usr/src/linux is a link to :
linux -> linux-2.4.10
Then:
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make xconfig
You may have to correct the typo in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Config.in on
line 277 (it SHOULD be on line 277 if you are using the stock kernel sources).
Hope this helps ...
