[vdr] Re: VGA output, what is the best solution?

Kind of off-topic, but i'm sure one of you guys could figure out what's
wrong here:

Downloaded 2.4.26 Kernel and patched vid epia2-patch. Made a quick
config (added only what i needed, such as monochrome-support,
network-card-support and filesystem-support) and then made a "make
install" to compile and install the kernel and after a while I get this:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon
-nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=i386_ksyms
-DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c i386_ksyms.c

I get nothing out of this.
