I compiled a new kernel "the Debian way". The only thing I ended up changing was the architecture: I set it to K7.
The compilation process itself was painful, because gcc kept segfaulting and every now and then the kernel would panic. On top of that, the new kernel wouldn't even boot: it produced one of those "not syncing" panics in the first steps of the boot process. I can never over-emphasise this point enough: Edgy worked fine! Something must have changed between Edgy and Feisty/Gutsy that is making my system so unstable. Did you guys change any of the default gcc options, for instance? -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
