Installing pinstripe toasted my modules.conf, presumably because it installed a new kernel. This is okay, I kinda expected it. However, when I went to recompile the kernel (2.2.16 from ftp.kernel.org), it failed with all sorts of nasty errors while in the Assembler Pre-processor stage, on the file checksum.c. When I uninstalled the gcc (and associated) rpms and re-installed the RH6.2 egcs rpms, everything worked fine. HTH W
You need to install the kgcc package and then edit the kernel makefile to use kgcc instead of the provided gcc when you compile. My question is why is a gcc compiler included that won't compile a kernel? Why not use 2.95 and have it work all around?
2.95 is not a recommended compiler for the 2.2 kernel. These arent compiler problems but kernel assumptions about optimisations. 2.95 is believed to build the very latest 2.2.17pre releases completely correctly but thats not the same thing as a trusted build for a production site
