Problemas para recompilar kernel

Pessoal, olha ai o que aparece quando dou o comando make menuconfig.

root@darkstar:/usr/src/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-2.4.22/scripts/lxdialog'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in .config
Preparing scripts: functions, parsingscripts/Menuconfig: line 1432: 2255 Segmentation fault awk "$1"
Awk died with error code 139. Giving up.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

Tentei tambem o make xconfig e olha o que aparece:

root@darkstar:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
drivers/sound/Config.in: 7: unknown command
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

O make config eu nem mexo eh complicado, sou iniciante e ainda naum sei mexer.

Uso o Slackware 9.1
