hi all, i have noticed that on my computer that when i started using kernel 2.6.11.9 that i am getting segmentation fault errors because when i start building the kernel it does not appear to use my swap file i do a free and the system shows to have a swap file but the compiler gives me errors. when i used 2.4 kernels i did not get these errors also i could tell that the compiler was using my swap file any ideas?? thanks to all randy turner
