Sorry, another newbie question. And sorry for attaching rather too many
error messages but it was very hard to tell exactly which bit went wonky.
Anyway, I decided that it was about time I recompiled my kernel and... guess
what - it won't. Another good idea... :-)
I installed the system from the RedHat 5.1 CD (running its default kernel
image right now) and uname -a gives a version number of 2.0.34. I have
checked that the kernel-* packages and gcc are installed. Other programs
compile okay.
I have checked all the symlinks mentioned in the README and they're fine. I
did a make mrproper before running make config. make dep and make clean run
through with no errors but as soon as I try make zImage it bums out halfway
through. The error list follows my .sig, apologies again for its size. It
looks to me as though there's something wrong with ld but as far as I can
see it's installed; I've reinstalled the binutils package twice. I have,
however, no environment variable "LD_RUN_PATH" as mentioned in the man
pages - should it matter?
I do feel bad at posting the classic "help, my kernel won't compile" message
but I've been right through the HOWTOs, the README and any man pages I can
find and I'm still not
having a great deal of success. The machine itself is a fairly standard
system, 486DX-100 (okay, okay!), 32Mb RAM, been running fine for a few weeks
now. No hardware problems that I know of.
Any help much appreciated,
Chris
