problemas con la compilacion del kernel

esta ves estuve buscando bastante y no encuentro la solucion, qiero compilar el kernel y cuando me voy a /usr/src/linux y pongo make menuconfig me tira este error:

kaos root # cd /usr/src/linux
kaos linux # make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/scripts/lxdialog'
