Kernel Recompile Problems

Hey,

Im trying to add support for transparent proxying on my redhat 9 (2.4.20-31.9
) box but having some problems.

This is what i've done so far:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-31.9
vi Makefile (changed the release number info)
make mrproper
make xconfig

Chose the things I need for transparent proxy support:
= Under General Setup
- Networking support
- Sysctl support
= Under Networking Options
- Network packet filtering
- TCP/IP networking
= Under Networking Options -> IP: Netfilter Configuration
- Connection tracking
- IP tables support
- Full NAT
- REDIRECT target support
= Under File Systems
- /proc filesystem support

Saved.

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules

(the tutorial I am using http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/K...ild-HOWTO.html says this should take an hour or so, but it does it in around 5 seconds showing the following:

make -r -f tmp_include_depends all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-31.9'

make -C addon modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-31.9/drivers/addon'

and continues like this.

I did try to continue with the tutorial but the system wouldnt boot the kernel. How do I make it work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
