Can't build Kernel under Dapper / 6.06

[harry courtice]

Hello,

I am trying to build a kernel (UML) under Ubuntu 6.06 . 

I have followed the instructions in 

http://cosi.clarkson.edu/docs/kernel/setup/uml/uml.html

Below, I have listed versions of various bits of software, and shown the
outcome of the "make linux" command. 

The first error that comes up is a missing file - asm/alternative.h

I would appreciate some help here - I guess this shouldn't be too hard,
but I don't know where to go to get things working.

Thanks,

Harry.
