I don't think I saw it on any other test machines. This machine runs SELinux.

Found another problem. The way I install kernels on machine `sony' is: - Build the kernel on machine `y', in /usr/src/25 - On machine sony, NFS mount y:/usr/src at /mnt/y/usr/src - On sony, `cd /mnt/y/usr/src/25' - <copy stuff> - make modules_install - depmod -a IOW, I run the kernel's installation tools on the *target* machine, within an nfs mount of the *build* machine. This has worked happily for five or more years. But now: Failed to open destination file: Permission deniedihex2fw: Convert ihex files into binary representation for use by Linux kernel usage: ihex2fw [<options>] <src.HEX> <dst.fw> -w: wide records (16-bit length) -s: sort records by address make[1]: *** [firmware/emi26/loader.fw] Error 1 make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2 This is because the target machine is i386 and it is trying to execute an x86_64 binary. and oh dear, the clockevents code just oopsed. firmware: requesting ipw2200-bss.fw ipw2200: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. ipw2200: Detected geography ZZA (11 802.11bg channels, 13 802.11a channels) initcall ipw_init+0x0/0x71 [ipw2200] returned 0 after 163 msecs ipw2200: Failed to send WEP_KEY: Aborted due to RF kill switch.
