I've got some serious corruption on a 2.2.10 kernel. Here's the results of a cksum on two FTP downloads of the 2.2.5 kernel:
[root@mars6 src]# cksum linux-2.2.5.tar.gz 836045113 13497506 linux-2.2.5.tar.gz [root@mars6 src]# cksum linux-2.2.5.tar.gz.2 706128008 13497506 linux-2.2.5.tar.gz.2
[root@avarice src]# cksum linux-2.2.5.tar.gz 1354232067 13497506 linux-2.2.5.tar.gz
The last one is what I was expecting to get, since I downloaded it on a server that doesn't seem to have any similar problems. It also runs 2.2.10, but it doesn't crash.
I've been having crashes on former box, so I decided to downgrade to 2.2.5 with the DoS patch. The thing that tipped me off to the problems was my "make dep" crashed with the Makefile in fs/minix being strangely corrupted. Just some characters out of order, AFAICT. But then I re-untarred the tarball, and it gave me an error saying the tarball was in an invalid format. And somewhere in there the tarball had actually changed on me. So I downloaded a new copy of the tarball, which had a different chacksum. So I downloaded a new one, which also had a different checksum, even though I pulled it down from the same mirror site.
If anyone wants a copy of the tarballs, I can try and retrieve them -- no guarantee that they'll be in their current state though. Seeing as one of them mutated in between two untars, they seem pretty unstable.
