I just tried it my original way again: make mrproper make xconfig load kernel-2.4.18-i686.config save and exit make dep make bzImage At this point, compilation fails with the following output when it happens (this includes the last couple of successful things it did): gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=strstr -c -o strstr.o strstr.c rm -f lib.a ar rcs lib.a checksum.o old-checksum.o delay.o usercopy.o getuser.o memcpy.o strstr.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0' kallsyms pass 1 ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o --start-group arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/char/drm/drm.o drivers/net/fc/fc.o drivers/net/appletalk/appletalk.o drivers/net/tokenring/tr.o drivers/net/wan/wan.o drivers/atm/atm.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/net/pcmcia/pcmcia_net.o drivers/net/wireless/wireless_net.o drivers/pnp/pnp.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/md/mddev.o drivers/isdn/vmlinux-obj.o drivers/sensors/sensor.o net/network.o crypto/crypto.o abi/abi.o /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/arch/i386/lib/lib.a --end-group -o .tmp_vmlinux1 fs/fs.o: In function `zisofs_readpage': fs/fs.o(.text+0x346ec): undefined reference to `zlib_inflateInit_' fs/fs.o(.text+0x347ee): undefined reference to `zlib_inflate' fs/fs.o(.text+0x348a0): undefined reference to `zlib_inflateEnd' fs/fs.o: In function `mnt_init': fs/fs.o(.text.init+0xafc): undefined reference to `init_rootfs' fs/fs.o: In function `zisofs_init': fs/fs.o(.text.init+0xf61): undefined reference to `zlib_inflate_workspacesize' make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2 I have seen segfaults on occasion when trying to fix this via make xconfig. Sounds more like the problem is with xconfig --if it's broken, trying to change anything would likely cause anything to happen.
