Linux Kernel 2.4.16 "make dep" error

[Gregory J.Neumann]

Of course, this is my home machine giving me the problems, and I'm at work! 
 I think you've found at least what's going wrong, cause when you mentioned 
the files needing to exist, there was something to the effect of not 
finding something.  But I can't remember what!  I can send more output 
after I get home . about 7:30!  <sigh!>  
Thanks for the help!  Not that I stress the equipment much at home, but I 
wanted to see if I could actually set up ext3 and the /dev/fs.

Thanks!
Greg
