Hi volks/Linus/Alan/Ivan! :o)

I tried to compile kernel 2.5.19 on an alpha.

Can someone help me? I had the same problem already with kernel 2.5.18.
Kernel 2.5.15 works well. Everything above _not_.

Please help!!! Thanks!

While trying to compile 2.5.19, this happens:

There are continual 2.5 changes and at times they are going to break the
Alpha port since x86 is the main item of focus. I don't follow 2.5 much
(I've yet to find a 2.5 kernel that doesn't crash and/or eat my disks)
so I can't really help you.
