Personally, I'm compiling my 2.2.x kernels with gcc 2.95.2, but I suspect there are still some configurations where that could cause problems.

Re: compiling an old kernel
better get someone with gcc compiling the kernel for you, this is what I did. don't forget to also get the appropriate modules... hth, &rw On 01 Feb 2000 15:55:02 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >Has somebody successfully compiled a 2.0 kernel with egcs >or is it necessary to reinstall gcc2.7? -- -- +++ EUnet/[EMAIL PROTECTED], 15.-17.2.'2k, Ebene02/Stand08 +++ - ___ - Robert WaldnerEUnet/AT tech staff // / ___ _/_ -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RW960-RIPE --- /--- / / / / /___/ / --- ---EUnet EDV-DienstleistungsgesmbH--- -- /___ /___/ / / /___ /_ Diefenbachgasse 35A-1150 Wien - - Tel: +43 1 89933 Fax: +43 1 89933 533
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
