[PLUG] Error building Debian 2.4.20 Kernel w/ uml patches

[Steve Jorgensen]

Hi all,

I've tried installing all the User Mode Linux stuff, and was able to build 
an image using rootstrap that almost boots, but gives some error messages 
that I won't bother to list because they pretty clearly look like they mean 
my host kernel needed uml patching.

So, I installed the Debian (Sarge/Testing) 2.4.20 kernel source and uml 
patch packages, applied the patch, configured the kernel, then tried to 
make the kernel package using make-kpkg --initrd --revision=2:syarchive.1 
kernel_image.  This failed because of a compile error.

The first error message (all subsequent errors seem to logically follow 
from here) is...
ide-cd.h:44: error: long, short, or unsigned used invalidly for 
'slot_tablelen'

Does anyone know the cause/cure for this error message?

Thanks,

- Steve Jorgensen
