You should not compile 2.0.xx kernels with anything but gcc-2.7.2.x, there are several known areas where the kernel depends on the compiler not doing several optimizations, or depends on gcc brokenness. The number of unknown spots where this is the case is probably way larger, and nobody is willing to put in the work to test the whole thing with 2.2 around the corner. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
