emc2 BDI-4.xx (configure probs)

Paul,
I had found old EMC Knowledge Base BDI-4 Install
( google cache cuz page was removed )
It's much like what you said
It didnt work
then i did what you said
it didnt work
I tried the upgrade.sh when I was on 4.29,
screwed up grub had kernel panic at boot
but had grub shell prompt and a dump of the grub file on hand :-)
so now back to semi normal
with bdi 4.25 running ok on 1 partition
and bdi4.30 being stubborn about emc2 on another
BDI4.30 installed becuz the swap for 4.25 was only 128 meg
and web notes said that was bad ( fuzzy memory), now swap is
1 freakin gig and / is 20 gig, 256 meg ram 2.3mHz celery-on

here's the story:

apt-cdrom add
ng... perm denied
so...
sudo apt-cdrom add
ok no
sudo apt-get install kernel-sources-2.6.12.6-magma ... blah
ng
it's source not sources
sudo apt-get install kernel-sources-2.6.12.6-magma ... blah
ok, 0 installed cuz I did do full install

cd /usr/src
ok
sudo tar -xjzf kernel...
ng, conflicting cmds
sudo tar -xjvf kernel...
ok but the directory was already there ( from whack at old BDI-4 install
notes )
ok wipe the dir & re untar it
ok
cd kernel...
ok
sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.12.6-magma .config
ok
sudo make oldconfig
ok
sudo make prepare-all
ok

" this sets up the dev enc...."
hey! whadoido now???
back to BDI-4 notes...

cd ~
cd emc/src
sudo ./configure

here's the tail of this from make prepare-all till error
