Help.
On a freshly installed system using a version of Mandrake 8.0 from the
free 'iso' images on the linux-mandrake sight this is what happens:

cd /usr/src
# remove the link in /usr/src
rm linux
bzip2 -dc /tmp/linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2|tar xvf -
chown -R root.root linux
mv linux linux-2.4.9
ln -s linux-2.4.9 linux
cd linux-2.4.9
cp /boot/config-2.4.3-20mdk .config
echo Take default answers to all:
make oldconfig
make dep ; echo made Dependancies && \
make clean ; echo made clean && \
make bzImage ; echo made bzImage && \
make modules
make modules_install

when installing modules this error is generated:

---Lots of other compiler messages---

Had to add #include <linux/types.h> to the header file too.

Thanks!
