Yes the old kernel works fine.
However, indeed memtest even under a debian precompiled kernel gives a segmentation fault.
Time to replace the DIMMs.


Thanks Paolo.  Would have taken me a while to get to that.

hi all,

i've been custom compiling kernels for a while now and just tried the
2.6.9 version.  i use kernel-package and debian's packages.  running
my 2.6.8 kernel i compiled a 2.6.9 kernel using make oldconfig,
nothing relevant appeared (though i did add an extra version tag), so
the config file is essentially as it was.

after booting with the new kernel, gcc seems to sporadically give
internal compiler error: segmentation fault errors.  i've tried going
up to gcc-3.4 but that doesn't change anything.  the problem is most
prevalent with kernel compilation.

system is debian unstable on a 1GHz AMD Athlon.  any thoughts?  has
something changed in the kernel that i missed?

Not much detail, but it does look like a hardware problem. Does going back to the old kernel make the problem go away? Try having your DIMMs tested via memtest also
