[olug] kernel compile errors

[Mike McNally]

I've been through the make xconfig many times and can't seem to fix
whatever is wrong.  Here's the end of the abort to make bzImage:

Is the problem in the page_offset.h code?

here's the lines from page_offset.h
---------------------------------------------------
#include <linux/config.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_1GB
#define PAGE_OFFSET_RAW 0xC0000000
#elif defined(CONFIG_2GB)
#define PAGE_OFFSET_RAW 0x80000000
#elif defined(CONFIG_3GB)
#define PAGE_OFFSET_RAW 0x40000000
#endif
---------------------------------------------------

In the config I selected max mem 1G since I couldn't set it any lower.
I certainly don't have anywhere near that size of physical memory... or
are that talking about harddisk space?
