I'm trying to compile a 2.4.22 kernel on the Fedora Core test 2 distribution (1.91). I find that the normal sequence of steps that work perfectly fine on the same machine under Fedora Core 1 cause various kernel panics during boot. Has anyone tried compiling a 2.4.x kernel under FC2, is there anything different that needs to be done? Alex
You probably need gcc32. It was removed from FC2 because the 2.4 kernel was the only reason it was kept for FC1. You can try to install gcc32 from FC1... I have no idea if it will work, but you can try.
What I always _always_ do before compiling a kernel of my own - I compile gcc 2.95.3 from source and put it in /opt/kernel/gcc
3.x may work fine - but last I looked, 2.95.3 is the one specified in the readme file to use if you are having problems, so I just use that one from the start.
I do apply the LFS patches to it, they don't do anything special - but if you only compile the C compiler - then nvidia's geforce driver won't install properly (unless you modify the makefile in their installer to remove the flags that really don't need to be there) - the patches that the lfs project has takes care of that.
