Re: [gentoo-user] kernel depression
Oh, another tip... I had some reiserfs issues with a gentoo-sources kernel once when I compiled it with gcc 3.2. I believe that 2.95 is the only officially supported compiler, so if you want to minimize the chance of obscure bugs, use that.

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel depression
I've been using the vanilla 2.4.24 kernel with the -uv1 patchset and it's been great: http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/2.4.24-updates/00README The -uv series patchset is bug fixes only, no features or optimizations.

I have had multiple oops with them myself. Too many patches. Vanilla sources also work fine for me. I simply patch my own kernels if I need a feature. Tom Veldhouse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] kernel depression
Thank you all for responding, Im going to try vanilla ! I was beginning to think that I was doing something wrong, or my hardware was buggy, but then it wouldn't run any kernel. I hope I get things fixed, I've been trying to get of gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r8 for over a month now... On Sat, 2004-01-17 at 00:03, Gerhard W.

It might be your system, but I wouldn't put a huge amount of money on it. 2.4.22-r5 is giving me USB fits trying to boot an external drive. 2.4.20-r5 works okay with USB, but has some DRI/DRM issues. I'll have to try the suggestion of using vanilla-sources for later kernels. -a -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Finally I switched to vanilla-sources, copied my .config and ran the make oldconfig to preserve my settings. From that point on not a single crash period.
