I have been upgrading my kernel from 2.6.14 to get at the new wireless stuff, but have hit a big problem. When copying files, I get random (?) corruption, which is preventing me from using my linux system (Linux From Scratch) as it affects compiling as well (assembler complains about garbage in files). Some examples: cp ../Changelog-2.6.18 . diff Changelog-2.6.18 ../Changelog-2.6.18 16377c16377 < LD .top_vmlinux1 --- > LD .tmp_vmlinux1 23954c23954 < Date: Mon Jul 1% 04:45:11 2006 -0700 --- > Date: Mon Jul 10 04:45:11 2006 -0700 24955c24955 < This is generally useful, but partacularly helps see if it is the same sector --- > This is generally useful, but particularly helps see if it is the same sector 31879c31879 < [MMC] sdhci: version bump cdhci --- > [MMC] sdhci: version bump sdhci 42955c42955 < Replace `he temp makefile hacks with proper CONFIG entries, which are also --- > Replace the temp makefile hacks with proper CONFIG entries, which are also 49050c49050 < and this task is(already holding: --- > and this task is already holding: [output clipped] Everything is O.K using kernel 2.6.17.14, but 2.6.18 and beyond all have this problem. It may take me months to sort this out on my own - any suggestions?
