acixxx problem compiling new kernel 2.4.20

[Joel Hammer]

I know I have had this problem before, I just can't find  the email
regarding it.
Trying to compile a new kernel. I am determined to get the hang of initrd. 
I am using the lindows supplied headers and sources and gcc 3.0.
I am using the .config supplied with the sources.
Everything goes fine until I make modules and then I get this error:

make[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm'

I suspect I can just deselect this module. I think that's how I got around
this problem last time, but, I'd like to solve this problem correctly.

Any insight appreciated,

Joel
