Hi guys: I've doing some test runnning several times the 'make clean'' and ''make -j 3 bzimage'' commands compiling a linux-2.6.14.2 kernel. I got the following error after the third time I ran the 'make bzimage' command. The machine is a Xeon dual core processor. CC drivers/net/3c501.mod.o CC drivers/net/3c503.mod.o CC drivers/net/3c505.mod.o CC drivers/net/3c507.mod.o CC drivers/net/3c509.mod.o CC drivers/net/3c515.mod.o CC drivers/net/pcmcia/3c574_cs.mod.o CC drivers/net/pcmcia/3c589_cs.mod.o make[1]: *** [drivers/net/3c59x.mod.o] Segmentation fault make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [modules] Error 2 The first and second time, the compilation was succesfull but in the third one I got this error. What are the possible causes that 'gcc' does a segmentation fault. Checking the resources of the computer, it nevers ran out memory. What can i do?, How can I debug this error? What can cause it? I'm running it on a Fedora Core 3, gcc version 3.4.3 Thank you very much! Jesus
