That might well be your problem right there. From the gcc FAQ (/usr/doc/gcc/FAQ.gz), in the section on "Building Linux kernels": # If you try to build a 2.0.x kernel for Intel machines with any # compiler other than GCC 2.7.2, then you are on your own. The 2.0.x # kernels are to be built only with gcc 2.7.2. They use certain asm # constructs which are incorrect, but (by accident) happen to work with # gcc 2.7.2. Try getting an older version of gcc and see if that solves your problem. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
