As I explained in another message I am getting SCSI errors when writing a CD; I have tried to use this CD writer under windows: it works; so I suppose it may be a driver problem (I use a 2.2.13 kernel).
So I am trying to compile an old kernel (2.0.38) but with there are problems with egcs. I have applied the patch at http://www.suse.de/~florian/kernel+egcs.html but I still get errors: In file included from init/main.c:46: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/bugs.h: In function `check_k6_bug': /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: Invalid `asm' statement: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: fixed or forbidden register 4 (si) was spilled for class SIREG. (a number of times) Has somebody successfully compiled a 2.0 kernel with egcs or is it necessary to reinstall gcc2.7? Thanks Hubert
