Re: compiling the kernel
I've written a Mini-HOWTO on compiling the kernel: http://www.eclectic-cheval.net/linux/kr-mhowto.txt I've posted it here for two reasons: 1) In case it will help, and 2) To get suggestions from those who know more than I do.

Thanks. After installing about 6 other dependency modules, I finally got the kernel source installed. Now I can run make.

Normally it's 'make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" for kernels. Sice you installed minimal, I'd think 'make menuconfig' would suffice. If you have the Redhat kernel-source rpm installed, and if you don't want to start from scratch, there's one already started in /usr/src/linux-/configs for whatever architecture you're using. It can help a lot for getting started. Basically, you copy the appropriate one to the top level of the source tree, rename it as .config, 'make oldconfig' then run menuconfig. Such as (this is a Rawhide kernel that you likely won't have): cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-0.pp.20 cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-athlon.config ./.config make oldconfig make menuconfig Then you set whatever options you want, get rid of things, etc. Beats having to do it all from scratch (usually).

Re: Compiling the Kernel
Ok.. I downloaded the patches... This is going to sound dumb but how do I install them :DOk... I feel like a newbie again ::grinz:: BTW, I also tried compiling the latest egcs source (1.1.2 I think). I'm getting a signal 11 error after I think 70% + complete with the build (make bootstrap). No issues with the config. Looks good. I read the FAQ on signal 11 errors. Is there perhaps a list of software that I should have upgraded prior to compiling egcs? I realize that it could be hardware related (the FAQ suggested this). I'm going over everything to rule that out. Thx for the help!

Compiling the Kernel
Hiya there all... I know we just had some conversation about this but I wanted to add my experience and perhaps find a solution. I've compiled Kernels for a couple of years and haven't really had problems until now. I'm "stuck" with a RedHat 5.2 installation (can't upgrade to 6.1 for various reasons). I've upgraded my Kernel from 2.0.36 (the default) to 2.2.10 (no sweat). Everything is happy until now. I've compiled Kernels from version 2.2.12 to 2.2.14 successfully BUT when I try to run "make modules" I get the following errors: sbni.c:1375: Invalid `asm' statement: sbni.c:1375: fixed or forbidden register 1 (sx) was spilled for class DREG. sbni.c:1377: warning: control reaches end of non-void function make[2]: *** [sbni.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/user/src/linux-2-2.12/drivers/net' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_net] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.12/drivers' make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 The above compile was 2.2.12 obviously. Figured I'd try it again. My "guess" is that I need to upgrade my glibc or libc. Can't think of any other reason that this wouldn't work. Comments? I really appreciate any tidbits you guys can give.
