Lines: 38 Hi *, In the midst of getting Bruce Evans latest patches to npx, I was also recompiling the kernel with gcc-2.3.3 as well. So, after getting the latest patches for npx as well as the patches to compile the kernel with gcc-2.3.3 posted recently, I decided to give the new kernel a try. It failed to boot. It just sat for a short time, with the fd0a drive light and the HD drive light on, and then rebooted - endless reboot cycle syndrome. I didn't receive any errors or missing things when I recompiled, but I did notice quite a few additional warnings when recompiling the kernel that I didn't see before, and some of them didn't look good. I wonder if this is causing a problem. I did not remember to save all these errors in a make-log, but perhaps I will go through another recompile to get something that I can post/email for others to look at. Also, I noticed in the patches posted here there was a patch for crt0.c in libc. Do I need this in order to recompile the kernel successfully? I haven't gotten that far in obtaining sources and don't have enough disk space to hold all of it while looking for that part, so if this is crucial, could someone send me a new libc? Has anyone experienced this endless reboot cycle when just recompiling the kernel with gcc-2.3.3 before? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ in real life: david fox email: dfox@quack.sac.ca.us 5479 Castle Manor Drive, San Jose, CA 95129 "Thanks for letting me change some USA magnetic patterns on your HD" -me 408-253-7992 "You've just won an absolutely FREE trip to the Isles of Langerhans" -me ------------------------------------------------------------------------
