Quite often i had oopses during kernel compile (gcc 2.95 on a debian woody system): two oopses on three compile runs. After the oops e2fsck crashed during the initial check and only with a 2.2 NO SMP kernel i could reboot the box cleanly. Same sort of problems with 2.2 SMP. with 2.4.10 no problems during compile. bye -- maruko.cjb.net - Seti@Home applets Designed for Windows... powered by Linux - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
