Maybe the compiler is STILL my > 1) I think the 3.0.4 compiler had some issues - 3.2.2 may be a better idea. 2) allyesconfig is probably NOT able to build an actual kernel that will work - in particular, there are a number of pairs/sets of drivers that are mutually exclusive for a given device. And as you noticed, allyesconfig will try to build stuff that's known to be b0rken. 3) Even if it works, it will be a huge kernel with lots of stuff you almost certainly don't need (got an ISDN card? I didn't think so ;). You would more likely want to customize the kernel for what you need, or at least consider using 'allmodconfig' so you can insmod the parts you need and skip the rest. --==_Exmh_1523968674P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE+pajucC3lWbTT17ARAnuYAJ98vB5Fg365ST0jiqInnBz7F56WqwCg/Zd5 nVxx10oNodlyuxzM3XPcb24= =QHHR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1523968674P--
