	Thanks anyway

	No, but similar things. Things to check:

	/usr/include/linux is a symlink to
/usr/local/src/linux/include/linux 
	(or wherever you keep your kernesource/include/linux)
	/usr/include/asm is a symlink to /usr/local/src/linux/include/asm

	make oldconfig clean dep bzImage modules

	If that fails, make mrproper and reconfigure, then make dep bzImage
modules.

	Did you apply the 2.4.11-dontuse patch before 2.4.12? It's a (very
very 
	slightly) broken kernel but it is required before you can patch is
to 
	2.4.12. Of course, patch-2.4.12 should've failed if this was the
case...

	At a last resort get a new kernel tarball. I can't think why you
could 
	need to but something really crazy could be happening here.
