Description dlsutton 1999-04-01 03:46:55 UTC

I am inserting a portion of the build log for your
inspection.

I reinstalled the kernel RPM packages and tried rebuilding the kernel
with the result below.

This looks like a compiler memory problem- don't you think?

Comment 2 David Lawrence 1999-04-08 22:25:59 UTC

I was unable to replicate this problem on a stock 5.2 system with the
latest 2.0.36 source obtained from updates.redhat.com. Signal 11
errors have been observed to be caused usually to hardware failures
with a majority being ram related.
