Hi, First off thanks to 'Godot' for pointing out that I needed libc5-devel installed to compile a new kernel. 'make dep ; make clean' seemed to work ok after I installed libc5-devel.
Sorry if my question has been posted many times on the list, but I have tried to access the debian web site for the past two days, and haven't been able to do so; connections either time out or I get an empty document. I don't know the exact path of the mailing list archives, which is what I was trying to access. Anyways, my next step was to 'make zImage'. I kept getting Sig 11 errors though not at the same point of compilation: gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 I found a reference in the documentation section about Sig 11 problems, FAQ at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ After reading the FAQ, it seemed that my problems were typical of the ones described by other users. I have tried at least 30 times starting over from: make dep ; make clean make zImage So, has any one had the same thing happen to them and did it turn out to be a RAM problem? Or, how were you able to solve it? Another question, if I 'make mrproper' do I not need to 'make dep; make clean'? After reading the compiling the kernel HOW-TO, I thought mrproper was just a little more thorough. If this is the case, now I am not sure I have a sig 11 problem because after 'make mrproper' then 'make zImage' compilation seems to end at the same place 'sched.c'. Here are the errors I get: sched.c: In function 'waking _non_zero' sched.c:508: warning: implicit declaration of funtion 'get_buzz_lock' sched.c:508: structure has no member named 'lock' sched.c:512: structure has no member named 'waking' sched.c:513: structure has no member named 'waking' sched.c:516: warning: implicit declaration of function 'give_buzz_lock' sched.c:516: structure has no member named 'lock' sched.c: In function '__up': sched.c:538: structure has no member named 'waking' sched.c: In function '__do_down': sched.c:505: warning: 'ret' might be used uninitialized in this function If you have any suggestions, please cc'me; I am subscribed in digest mode.
