gaming-sources compile error

Just recently fried my old installation of Gentoo (apparently through an `emerge world'). tar was segfaulting no matter what was being done, vim was complaining about environment variables, hell - cp didn't even want to work right... So I popped in my Gentoo 1.4 Basic CD and started. Everything went just fine until I had to compile the kernel (I'm typing this from the machine that needs the work). The first error I see is:

Code: Select all

sched.c: In function `resched_task':
sched.c:1465: error: structure has no member named `cpus_runnable'

No further explanation was given. Any ideas, or is this just FUBAR? I'll go ahead and check the source to see if someone just commented out the required structure, but I'm not too hopeful poking around kernel code...

Well, it appears that the problem lies in the SMP portion of the code. This is unfortunate... I will need another kernel. Any suggestions on a kernel that does SMP well? (Dual Athlon-MP)

Well, it appears that gentoo-sources compiled successfully with smp... I hope that fixes things...
