I am stumped.. I've only seen this behavior twice. Once was when I was compiling something and I didn't have enough swap. It was a long time ago and I can't remember what it was, but it forced me into using a swapfile until I got it built. The second time was when I had a ram module going bad. I didn't know it was flaky at the time and it passed memtest. But it finally started locking during boot. It failed memtest after it reached that stage. After replacing it the first thing I did was build a kernel. It worked just fine from then on. -- XP: The ME of NT. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Can you post the error message. You might want to start from scratch by going into /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs and copying the config of you choice back to the linux-2.4 directory as .config. Once that's done then do a "make mrproper", then "make oldconfig" and do "make dep clean modules modules_install bzImage" -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: compiling a new kernel
Thanks Bob, and the others responding. I tried 'make mrproper' as well. I guess I am getting desperate. Somehow I am thinking that maybe there is a hardware problem? Could that be the reason for things not working??

Re: compiling a new kernel
Try running 'make mrproper' before make dep clean bzImage this will clean up from any previous compile.

That has always worked for me. But in this case I never get to the modules stage. ?? I also tried many different kernels, copies etc., No luck. There must be a way to get around this.

Re: compiling a new kernel
Do you make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make install make modules_install The failure could also be in the downloaded source code.

compiling a new kernel
I have a problem here and I have no idea how to get around it. I am trying to compile a new kernel with RH7.3 (2.4.19) and not matter what I do the compile never finishes but stops at some error. What I have been doing is making a note of what is stopping it and than going into the '.config' file and commenting out that item. Then I found that if I didn't comment it out but just re started the compile process , that it would go by that error and stop somewhere else. The bottom line is, I can't compile up a new kernel and I need to in order to change some of the options. How do I do it with all these errors and stoppages.. -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada. 1-902-679-2253 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
