That is a bit tricky to answer.. When it fails and I rerun the compile process it stops on a different error. And that error could be earlier or later than the last one. So each time it stops, it is on a different error and not related to the first. Sometime it is a segmentation fault. Like the following: misc.c: In function 'misc_open' : misc.c:147; Internal error : Segmentation fault. Prior to the Error indication it looked like this: gcc: Internal error: Illegal Instruction (program as) I have never seen this type of refusal to work before. I am stumped.. >You might want to start from scratch by going into >/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs and copying the config of you choice back to >the linux-2.4 directory as .config. That is what I eventually did. I had started by making my own but than felt - I better leave well enough alone and take what is already in place and just amend that file for the various options I need to add. >Once that's done then do a "make mrproper", then "make oldconfig" and do That was what I did next. Or rather, I backed up my .config file and than ran "make mrproper" and than copied that backup file back to ".config" and than began the compile process. >"make dep clean modules modules_install bzImage" Yes. But because I was apprehensive about it working properly, I just ran "make dep clean bzImage" ; leaving the modules to compile at a later time. And all that still didn't work.. >-- >Gerry > >"The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer > > > > >-- >redhat-list mailing list >unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe >https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list --- Ted Gervais, Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, Canada -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
