So, I tried to compile SuSE's stock 8.2 kernel with their /boot/vmlinuz.config as the /usr/src/linux/.config file on a 100% fresh CD load (second time for SuSE 8.2).
try it with 'make cloneconfig'
This is typical of every program.
No, it's not! The complete 8.2 distribution was compiled with exactly that version of gcc.
If a linux-2.4.20.SuSE kernel will not work here without modifing the source code - how did it work at SuSE.com. A different compiler maybe?
Most definitely not! The whole distribution is compiled with *exactly* the tools you find on the CDs/DVDs. -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de
