I installed 2.1.5 recently from the WC CD-ROM and have run into a problem. I can't seem to compile anything. I've tried kernel compiles - both GENERIC and my own - and get signal 10 and sometimes signal 11 errors. I can restart make and it will pick up where it failed, often continueing on, only to fail again. I managed to get through compileing my kernel once after at least 10 of these restarts. The kernel didn't work - "nobody wants to mount my root" but that may be my fault. There seems to be a minor pattern to the signal failures - often at the same places, but not always. I also tried to compile lynx with the same results. From some of the posts I've read, this seems like a memory and/or hardware timeing problem. The machine has Win95, WFW, OS/2 and NT WS 3.51 and they all work fine, although I primarily use Win95. Configuration is: Ocean Ocetek "Rhino 9" mobo (Triton II) Cyrix P166+ 32M EDO 60ns RAM Adaptec 2940 with Seagate ST32550 SCSI-2 Wide HDD Adaptec 1542 w/ Pioneer CD-ROM and Zip drive 3Com 3C590 PCI NIC I'm not a programmer, so compiling is a new thing to me. I understand it works the machine harder than most other activies and may be bringing out an otherwise minor problem. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time Tim Palmer timpal@intercall.com
