Description Need Real Name 2002-04-03 22:48:55 UTC

Description of Problem:

K6-II, 2.4.9-31, make bzImage fails at random locations when working 
in the 'drivers' directory.  Failure always occurs in the 'drivers'
directory but at differing sub-directories.For eample:

serial.c: In function `probe_serial_pci':
serial.c:4919: Internal error: Segmentation fault.
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for instructions.
make[3]: *** [serial.o] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31/drivers/char'

This despite having replaced rpms.  Did rpm -Uvh --force on:

binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.9-31.i586.rpm
kernel-headers-2.4.9-31.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.9-31.i386.rpm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.9-31

How Reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

As root,
1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31
2. make mrproper
3. make xconfig
4. make dep
5. make clean
6. make bzImage

Actual Results:
Segmentation fault while working in random sub-directories of the
'drivers' directory.

Expected Results:
make bzImage shuold have completed without error.

Additional Information:
Motherboard is a PAG2130 from FIC.
Initial install of the RH7.2 distribution on this machine was normal.
This system has been maintained using the up2date facility.

Random non-reproduceable compiler crashes means hardware errors.
Please check your memory (e.g. memtest86), CPU, board.
