And what's going on is possibly related to the hardening patches both you Gentoo GCC (3.4.4) says to have and that the FC4 GCC (4.0) I know to have. In fact, I compile with 3.4.4 and it works; plus, the source code is IMHO legitimate. However, I just remembered I have an Ubuntu with GCC 4.0... so I could test the thing. > I've had quite a few problems with 2.6.14 not booting on 2.6.13 and > 2.6.14 hosts. (errors have been reported by other users - unfortunately > the strace isn't very useful) I've not looked deeply at the strace, but I don't see anything much clear. Also, I suppose the problem is with SKAS0 and no regression is seen in other modes. However, given that you're having this compilation problem (caused by uml-fix-misassembling-skas0-stub-segv, which you can unapply for testing), you could test the 32-bit binaries I've built and uploaded on my homepage. For at least one people they run better than home-compiled binaries, and there's no report of the opposite. Also, there is at least another GCC-triggered bug in SKAS0 sources, so if you're hitting this one then the binaries will fix it. > Antoine -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
