Baswaraj> Hi, I compiled kernel 2.4.21 with intel compiler . That's curious. Last time I checked, the changes needed to use the Intel-compiler have not been backported to 2.4. What kernel sources are you working off of? Also, even with 2.6 you need a script from Intel which does some "magic" GCC->ICC option translations to build the kernel with the Intel compiler. AFAIK, this script has not been released by Intel (hint, hint...).

Also found that loop in the Baswaraj> callibrate_delay" routine goes infinite. I suspect your kernel was just miscompiled. We have used the Intel-compiler internally on a 2.6 kernel and it worked fine at the time, though I haven't tried recently. --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
