I didn't think > gcc-4.4.5 worked properly on 64 bit without a few patches? Yes, but debian tends to build almost everything. For some reason, I've turned off ipv6. Unlike many kernel bugs, this one is completely reproducible. I would say gcc-4.4.6 or a snapshot latter than 2010-12-22 is needed for kernel builds. asm in delay slot patch is key patch. As this was discussed on list, I'm a bit surprised that this wasn't picked up if that's the problem. I'm doing a build based on debian's config with my toolchain to see if it has the same problem. There may be a toolchain issue wrt CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER (frame pointer optimization). Dave -- J.
