Felt like I needed something to do on a Sunday afternoon so I apt-get 2.6.8 and download the X-box patch. Unpacked everything and ran the patch on the new kernel files by 'patch -p1 < linux-2.6.8-xbox.patch'. I also 'cp kernel.config .config' and 'make oldconfig'. Now this is where I started having problems.

When I run the 'make' routines I get all sorts of errors. I ran 'make clean' with no problems then ran make and got all these errors

In file included from include/asm/bugs.h:26,
from init/main.c:49:
include/asm/i387.h: In function `__save_init_fpu':
include/asm/i387.h:52: parse error before `['
include/asm/i387.h:62: parse error before `['
make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

When I try make modules I get tons of errors and then trying to install them goes equally pear shaped but first things first.

Advice on how to get through the make function would be greatfully received.

Thanks
