Hi, I compiled and installed 2.6.0-test1 a few days ago and have a few problems. The most serious one is that _any_ qt program and xmms crash with a segmentation fault while loading. I have checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.log but there is nothing seemingly relevant there (no oops's or anything else). I first configured my kernel from scratch. Since that did not work, I did a make oldconfig on my 2.4.21 kernel configuration. I then made the necessary modifications as mentioned in the post haloween document. Both the configurations have the same result. I can use xmms and qt programs on my 2.4.21 kernel though. Also, in my /var/log/messages I get messages that the following modules could not be found: char_major_180 char_major_188 char_major_4 nf_pf_10 I have been told that char_major_180 (and 8) have to do with USB devices. So I have enabled USB support and UHCI support and USB serial converter support and USB devices support as modules. I have also been told that char_major_4 has to do with tty devices. I have compiled SERIAL_8250 as part of my kernel image it self so I do not know why it should need to search for the module. I do not know what nf_pf_10 corresponds to although I guess it has to do with iptables. I have compiled _all_ the iptables options as modules. I am using Redhat 9 and have updated my modutils and made a change to /etc/rc.sysinit as mentioned in the post-haloween document. Does anyone have an idea as to what is going on?
