Problem compiling Kernel with RedHat 5.0 (Linux v2.0.32)

Post by Mathieu Sutte » Wed, 01 Jul 1998 04:00:00



Hi all,

I tried to recompile mu kernel using xconfig. All seems to work, until I
get an error message (while "make zImage"):

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.32/include -Wall ..... -c -o
genhd.o genhd.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
make[3]: *** [genhd.o] Error 1
...
Do you have an idea of what the problem could be? I tried to uninstall
the kernel sources packages, and to re-install it in order to be sure
having a "good" source. But it is exactly the same...

Help. Thanks in advance.

The problem indicates one of three hardware problems:
        1. A memory module is faulty (small fault)
        2. The external cache module is faulty
        3. You are using a Cyrix processor without the Cyrix hardware
           bug fixes applied.

Thank you very much for your help.

It is true that I use a Cyrix P166+ processor. How can I correct the bug you
are talking about? Is there a patch to download?

Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Linux-2.0.32 - errors on compiling

Hi there,

I do have problems to compile the Linux-2.0.32 release (on a
P133 PCI, SCSI).  I currently use the kernel 2.0.0 (ok, it's
really time for a change...), gcc v2.7.2 and ld version
cygnus-2.6 (with BFD 2.6.0.12). On "make zImage" or "make lilo"
I get the following messages:

[...]

src/linux#

The extern declared variables (input_data, etc.) in
linux-2.0.32/arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c
don't emerge somewhere else as definitions in the src/
 What ist the problem with this _start symbol which ld cannot
find?
I guess it's not really a problem of the distribution.

If anyone has a hint - I would appreciate it!
