From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: Vanilla install of 7.3 via kickstart with @Everything. need to increase user address space to 3.5 GB. copied /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3 to <same>-inst2. Within the inst2 directory - patched using patch -p1 < 2.4.18_003.5G_address_space_4 (file predecessor in this role had obtained from ... ?) Patching complains that patch already installed - if I accept defaults it finally patches memory.c (or somesuch). If instead I answer "y" to the first prompt it flies through and patches same as above mentioned. If I don;t patch I do not have the 3.5Gb option (see below) in make xconfig. - make mrproper (ok) - make xconfig; load config from file kernel-2.4.18-i686-smp.config (in configs); alter high memory support to 4 Gb; alter user address space 3.5 Gb; save and exit - make dep (ok) - make clean (ok) - make bzImage ... make errors with .... cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3-inst2/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototyp es -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Wno -unused -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DKBUILD_BASENAME=block _dev -c -o block_dev.o block_dev.c block_dev.c: In function `blkdev_ioctl': block_dev.c:651: Internal error: Segmentation fault.

We certainly can't debug a problem with a kernel patched with something random and you don't know where you got it. If you file another bug in the future, attach the output of --save-temps.
