Comment 19 for bug 233950

Hi
 Did you get tarball like a linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2? Did you use linux-source-2.6.24 that is just only installed.
 Just only installed linux-source-2.6.24 doesn't have asm-offsets.c file.
 You have taball like a linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2. and Extract that file using tar. Maybe you use custom directory like a /home/oneuser/kernel/ is better.
For example I did this:
$sudo su
#mkdir /home/oneuser/kernel
#cd /home/oneuser/kernel/
#cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24 /home/oneuser/kernel/
#tar xf linux-source-2.6.24
#cd linux-source-2.6.24
#ls arch/x86/kernel/

#cp /boot/config-2.6.24-* .config
#make oldconfig
#make prepare

bye.
