There were no error messages or anything from the kernel; just the
spontaneous reboot or hang. No configuration kernel configuration
changes either; the only difference in a working test case and a
non-working test case was building with different versions of binutils.
There's nothing special about the PC that had the problem booting the
kernel. It's an old machine that has never had problems with Linux.
I can confirm that. I had to downgrade binutils to build a working 2.6.30.2
(or 2.6.30.1).
In LKML other people also tracked down non-booting 2.6.30.x to be caused by
the actual binutils package in sid.
I can't see this kind of report for current Fedora and Ubuntu, which are both
based to a subset of the hjl's binutils patches (the Debian package is pure
upstream without these patches applied). As a quick check, please could you
recheck with the package found here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/binutils/download
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/binutils/download
