That's normal - to build a 2.0 kernel you need a 2.0 userland ( or at 
least 2.0 developer stuff ) - download the beta sets, upgrade your 
system ( who needs isos besides for cold installs? ) - then the 2.0 
stuff will build just fine. You'll have to update the bootblocks before 
you can load a 2.0 kernel ( but the new bootblocks will work with 1.6 
kernels so you can - and should - do that from 1.6 )

have fun
