I was curious about the problem that you people were having with crc errors. I recently recompiled my linux kernel on a machine that has been running the same kernel for about 4 months now. I have recompiled it several time without any trouble. But the last time I recompiled the kernel it gave me the same exact crc error message when it tried to uncompress the kernel. Before this error I was booting my machine off the harddrive now it only lets me boot off a floppy that I created. Do you think that my hard drive is going or maybe my kernel source is corrupt. I tried to recompile three times and everytime I would get the same message. I just thought you might have an answer for me, or something.
