Could you please run this through ksymoops on your machine.
Depending on which distribution you're using, this can be as
simple as:

Remember to set the System.map to the correct one,

I dug up an old amd 386 and started compiling kernels for it with gcc 2.95.2:
2.4.0 : doesn't boot, same symptoms as you, Robert, so you're not imagining
things :-)
2.2.19pre6 : compiles, boots and runs poifectly
2.3.51 : doesn't compile

Hi,
This is an incredibly boring patch that just adds "const" to some of
the ISA-PNP function prototypes. It compiles cleanly with gcc-2.95.2.
Talking about the ISA-PNP code, this is also an Incredibly Boring Patch,
though small, it prevents

Hey all,
Still working with kernel 2.4.0-test9 (other things we use require it for
now), and I was looking at a driver for a Znyx zx346q network card that I
grabbed from the znyx.com website. The driver is for a 2.2.x kernel, but
figuring I'd try it anyway, downloaded and tried to build it. It
Hi there.
I rewrote my previous bugreport.pl in bash. I would appreciate it if you
had a look on this one. Run it once and give me feedback if you like.
If the formatting is overloaded please let me know.
If this one is ok, I will probably add the possibility to check

I noticed rather strange behavior: stock 2.4.0 with old ISA 3Com
on UP compiled as UP cannot open TCP connection to hosts behind a
firewall. E.g. it is impossible to go to http://www.etrade.com/ -
connect just never finishes. 2.2.17 on the same hardware works
right. 2.4.0 on SMP over PPP
