Hi, I have some trouble with my kernel for a few days : it breaks quite often, giving me a oops... I noticed it is particularly bad with drm accessing null pointer... (???), but not only. X sometimes hangs up without warning too, and once my machine couldn't unmount file systems (giving a oops once again...)
Another point is I can't compiling kernel 2.4.1 any more. I get this error message (after a make clean and make dep) : socrate:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1# make bzImage gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype s -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary =2 -march=i686 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype s -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary =2 -march=i686 -DUTS_MACHINE='"i386"' -c -o init/version.o init/version.c make CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict- prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack -boundary=2 -march=i686 " -C kernel make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/kernel' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/kernel' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype s -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary =2 -march=i686 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -c -o sched.o sched.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype s -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary =2 -march=i686 -c -o dma.o dma.c gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototype s -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary =2 -march=i686 -c -o fork.o fork.c gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 make[2]: *** [fork.o] Erreur 1 make[1]: *** [first_rule] Erreur de segmentation make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1/kernel' make: *** [_dir_kernel] Erreur 2 socrate:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.1# cpp0: output pipe has been closed On the other hand kernel 2.4.2 compiles fine... I'm using unstable. Is there something I should check to find out where the problem is or some relevant information I could give to help find where the point is ? (libraries versions, ... ???)
