xfs 1.3.3 beta 1 stock kernel source configure problems

[Chris Green <greenc@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

So, I just downloaded the RPMS from the indicated place for RHEL, and
installed:

# rpm -Uvh --freshen acl-2.2.23-1.i386.rpm attr-2.4.15-1.i386.rpm 
dmapi-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm dmapi-devel-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm libacl-2.2.23-1.i386.rpm 
libacl-devel-2.2.23-1.i386.rpm libattr-2.4.15-1.i386.rpm 
libattr-devel-2.4.15-1.i386.rpm xfsdump-2.2.17-1.i386.rpm 
xfsprogs-2.6.4-1.i386.rpm xfsprogs-devel-2.6.4-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i686.rpm 
kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i686.rpm 
kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i686.rpm 
kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i686.rpm 
xfs-modules-1.3.3-2.4.21_9.0.1.EL.sgi1_sgi1.i686.rpm 
xfs-modules-smp-1.3.3-2.4.21_9.0.1.EL.sgi1_sgi1.i686.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --freshen kernel-doc-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i386.rpm 
kernel-source-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh xfs-modules-BOOT-source-1.3.3-2.4.21_9.0.1.EL.sgi1_sgi1.i386.rpm

I attempted to configure the kernel so I could build my favorite
modules:

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
# make mrproper >/dev/null 2>&1
# perl -wap -i.bak -e \
  'BEGIN { $is_smp='"$is_smp"'; $smp=$is_smp?"smp":""; }
  s|^(EXTRAVERSION\s*=\s*.*)custom$|$1$smp|' Makefile >/dev/null 2>&1 
# cp configs/kernel-*-`uname -m`-smp.config ./.config
# make oldconfig
# make dep

Everything went swimmingly, until:

<snip>
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1/crypto'
make -C kdb fastdep
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** kdb: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [_sfdep_kdb] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.sgi1'
make: *** [dep-files] Error 2

Oops.

Indeed, the kdb directory is not as specified, but is in the arch/i386
directory. A problem with the RPM files list, perhaps?

Help!

Thanks,
Chris.
