Data Linux Kernel upgrade
Hi everyone,
I am trying to have a second kernel in my Red hat 2.4.18.
I downloaded the 2.4.9 version and did all the extract and stuff. when I run the command make bzImage I get the following error:

devlist.h:6931: __devices_b1b3 causes a section type conflict

I don't know anything about this, but I found a few similar situations on google. Here's a mailing list that had a few recommendations.

You may want to try an AA patch.

ftp://ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kern....4.18rc4aa1.gz

From /home/scott/junk/linux/linux:
gunzip ../2.4.18rc4aa1.gz && patch -Np1 -i ../2.4.18rc4aa1

AA patch is a pretty comprehensive patch. Includes many of my favorite
patches including PTE and Himem. Even if it doesn't work. It's a
must-have patch.

Aside from that though, looks like you may have conflicts with your
kernel optimizations and the libc you are using. You could do a few
things in this case.

Copy include/linux to /usr/include or find out what your CFLAGS are at
compile time. Is Dev86 installed?
