It works fine here, cept i get that damn ld: bvmlinux: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 2, need 3) ld: final link failed: Bad value error now when i compile on tmpfs that i didn't get when i compiled on the hdd with 2.4.10-acX. It's only started happening since using 2.4.12-ac3. I've only used this kernel so i dont know if it's 2.4.12 or the ac3 part. anyways it got to that point in about 3:30 seconds . . which is about 5 seconds faster than disk. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
