Hello Linux Gurus,

I am trying to compile Linux 2.0.0 on my system
and it is failing with the following error:

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

My system is as follows:

Pentuim
100 MHz
32 M memory [ran the memory checker on this - no errors]
1 G hard drive SCSI
cdrom SCSI
tape backup SCSI
Courier 28.8 modem
Mach64 video card
3com 3c509 ethernet card

I partitioned my hard drive as
64M swap
500M Linux native - boot
436M Linux native

I used RedHat 3.03 from my cdrom to install

During the RedHat installation [the last part when
it loads the packages onto disk] I got a kernel error
which was displayed on part of the screen, but the
installation continued - although one of the packages
didn't get installed do to an error. I did the
RedHat installation twice and a different package
failed to install each time.

I can continue past this and I even installed a
linux Lilo boot. When I reboot and try to compile the
Linux 2.0.0 src [which I get off my tape in tar form]
with the command make zImage I get the error:

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

Any Suggestions?

If you are using an Intel EV or similar board with pipeline burst
cache, those boards are very sensitive to cache timing (I had the same
problem). Try pulling out the cache module and doing the installation
again. The system will run somewhat slower without the cache, of
course. If pulling out the cache fixes the problem, get the
cache module replaced.

This is almost certainly a hardware problem.

Or you could go into the CMOS settings and disable the level 2 cache.

You aren't going to like this, but it is a hardware problem--most likely
your RAM. Most ram check programs are pretty worthless (common errors are
dropping 1 bit an hour, i think) try slowing down your ram speed in bios
setup, or increase the wait states, or whatever. There is a WWW page
devoted to sig 11 errors: check out http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ for more
info.
