ok, when you have trouble compiling after changing something than it means you make a majior change in most cases
do a make dep
make clean
make bzImage
not just the bzImage as you normally would

also if you patched the kernel you need to start completely new by make mrproper, but that will remove every change you made, so only do it if everything else fails simply so that you dn't have to make the changes again.

Nope, it's still giving me a segmentation fault, I think I'm gonna have to do a make mrproper.

one thing to point out, if your kernel won't compile and you are pretty sure you did everythin correct you might want to check your cpu fan and temperature, compiling takes a lot of cpu, while a cpu might be fine with a faulty fan most of the time compiling is an activity that can fry it if not cooled, and when cpu's get hot they have a lot of errors, so check that.

The fan seems fine and I've got the case side off as well. (Well, I'm in there so often, it's not worth putting it back on...)

Is there a way to do it from within linux?

there is, it is called lmsensores, a kernel patch for 2.4 or builtin to 2.6, then software to recognise it, I havn't tried it myself I did once long ago but my board was not supported so I didn't actually go past the readme.

I know how you feel about taking side off, until a week ago when I got the thermaltake xaser III my comp was actually spannign 2 cases with cables going back and fourth also 2 oiwersupplies one had a switch I made fo rit myself because atx has no switch (jumper pin 14 to any ground turns it on)

p4 2.2 1ghz ddr, via p4pb400 4 ata 133 7200rpm in linux software raid5 (85% full) on promise ata/133 80gb main drive 40gb home/games drive, dvd-rw pioneer A05, dvd-rom pioneer 16x, geforce4-4600ti agp, sblive! 5.1, tulip nic card + onboard via,onboard via 6 channel as second sound card for tv-out, dxr3 for dvd-decoding & tv-out, pinacle tv pro thingy for fm radio and cable tv, usb2.0 with usb trackman wheel mouse and belkin kick-@$$ keyboard. (Yes I use trackball for games and love it!) antec truepower 550watt p/s with fan control, and a case builting 4 fan fancontrol + cpu temp monitor.

Well, I guess I could always shut down in about an hour, give the beast a good rest and try again from cold tomorrow...

lol, still a segfault is strange, I don't think I have gotten that in kernel.. maybe try going to 2.4.21 rather than 2.4.22
I never used 2.4.22 and can't tell you if it is stable or not, 2.4.21 is really good though

Strange though, that it managed to compile right up until I added ext3 support. And on a stable kernel revision too...

OK, what is IPVS? That doesn't load up on startup any more either...

Ah, found it... IP Virtual Server.

Okay, I decided to go back to the 2.4.21 mandy-specific kernel and tweaked it for my setup. It's sorted out everything bar the sound and printing. The printer's picked up, but the print spooler just doesn't send anything to it.

hmm, for some reason I am net getting e-mails about posts anymore.. hm. well, let me know when you have the kernel booting to the correct stuff with devfs and all so that I can give you alsa instructions

OK, kernel's booting fine, although there were some unresolved symbols regarding wireless network cards. Still boots fine, though. (Strange, I'm sure I stripped all the wireless drivers out of the compile... )

lol once again msg at almost the same time, well ok with the mandrake kernel.

if sound is working I won't bother with alsa

as for printer you are on your own, it took 32 years for me to make my printer (that is supposedly supported by 8 different meathods and 4 drivers) to work, and I also don't use the rh/madrake/suse print filters.

Sorry, no... Sound's still not working...

But erm, yeah, printing would be good to sort out, sound can wait for now, lol.
