compiling an old kernel
As I explained in another message I am getting SCSI errors when writing a CD; I have tried to use this CD writer under windows: it works; so I suppose it may be a driver problem (I use a 2.2.13 kernel). So I am trying to compile an old kernel (2.0.38) but with there are problems with egcs. I have applied the patch at http://www.suse.de/~florian/kernel+egcs.html but I still get errors: In file included from init/main.c:46: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/bugs.h: In function `check_k6_bug': /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: Invalid `asm' statement: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38/include/asm/string.h:118: fixed or forbidden register 4 (si) was spilled for class SIREG. (a number of times) Has somebody successfully compiled a 2.0 kernel with egcs or is it necessary to reinstall gcc2.7? Thanks Hubert
problem writing CDs

Re: problem writing CDs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Did you change blank type? I have tried with the same blanks that worked; still error Could be software. Did you update cdrecord between it writing and it not writing? yes I will try with an old cdrecord. I also updated the kernel so this could be a driver error; the error sometimes happens at the beginning and sometimes it writes 630Mo before the error; Could still be hardware. Mine was. :/ The cheap Memorex green/silver noname blanks flaked apart in my drive and shot the write laser. I sent it back for repair, and now it no longer recognises those blanks. ;P I even could write a short CD without error so I don't think the laser is out of order. Hubert

emacs and pgnus
I am trying to use pgnus-0.75 and I have the following problem: it compiles fine (./configure and make) but when I use it I get the error void function: gnus-truncate-string the problem is that there is no function named gnus-truncate-string in pgnus; so I think it may be loaded before I start gnus but I can't find where; I have tried to eliminate all possibilities: I load emacs with EMACSLOADPATH=/usr/share/emacs/20.3/lisp, with no init-file (emacs -q) and I just do (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name ~/src/pgnus-0.75/lisp) load-path)) and M-x gnus and the error happens; where this gnus-truncate-string comes from? is it possible that it is at compile time?

Re: Slow mail delivery

When I d/l my mail from my isp (using fetchmail), it is taking over 5 minutes (probably closer to 10) for the mail to get delivered, i.e. for the machine to say I have new mail, not for it to come down from my isp. Any ideas on what could be causing this, and how to fix it? I use exim and I have the same behaviour; when more than 10 messages arrive exim doesn't deliver them at once; in the log file there is: no immediate delivery: more than 10 messages received in one connection this is controled by some exim options (see queue_only_load) Hubert Fauque
