What kernel version are you using? And where did you get the kernel source? I
had trouble with the kernel-source RPMs I got from the SGI web site (I think
the problem may have been that I didn't do make mproper before I built it) --
I could do make bzImage with no problem, but I got those weird hex values
errors when I tried to make modules. Then I got the prinstine kernel source tar
ball for version 2.4.5, applied the xfs patches and everything went swimmingly.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
