Segmentation fault when compiling kernel

Baix · 02-05-2005, 03:25 PM

Hey guys,
First, just to warn you: I'm cursed and cannot, or ever will be, be able to compile a kernel, but I try anyway lol :-D

So on try number 15 on compiling 2.6.10 I run into this error when running make bzImage:

Code:

drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c: In function `synaptics_process_packet':
drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c:418: internal compiler error: Segmentation faultPlease submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
make[3]: *** [drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/input/mouse] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/input] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

And I have absolutly no clue where to go from there. Thanks in advance all

Also, it happens at random spots, not just synaptics.

Edit: Its worse than I thought...segmentation faults when compiling stuff for the Gentoo install.... whats going on!?

Do you have a laptop?

What version of gcc are you using? I vaguely remember having the default gcc with slack 10.0 dying on a kernel compile. I upgraded to a later version of gcc and then it worked fine.

Are you using Highmem? (as in 1Gig) ?

As far as I know, nope.

Edit: (Sorry for the side scrolling, fixed it)

You don't need synaptics,thats for touchpad,try without it.

does it segfault when you compile other things?

I had this problem not too long ago, it didn't matter what I was compiling I got seg faults and illegal instruction errors about every 1 or 2 min. of compiling. Mine ended up being heat related (cpu was overheating).

Hardware issues? Bad mem, Overheating CPU and etc.

Baix · 02-06-2005, 09:44 AM

Yeah, it looks like its worse than I thought...trying to install Gentoo for the first time...keep getting segmentation faults randomly throughout the compiles and can't get the thing to install. :-/ I've been running memtest86 from the gentoo cd for about 9 hours now but it hasn't reported any errors.

are you trying to install it from slackware,sounds like a kernel mismatch,try the live cd.

Baix · 02-19-2005, 03:32 PM

If your talking about installing Gentoo, I'm using the minimal live CD.

If your talking about the kernel I just downloaded it lol.

I really hope this isn't a hardware problem...I mean memtest gave no errors overnight and I've never really had the computer crash on me, but the fact that I'm getting segmentation errors both on the compiles for gentoo and when compiling the kernel in slackware doesn't sound like good news.

__J · 02-19-2005, 05:22 PM

what processor is it and what temp are you runnin at? I had pretty much the same thing, running memtest for hours and never getting any errors.

Baix · 02-19-2005, 06:03 PM

I just succesfully compiled the kernel (twice to make sure) and got no errors. It seems that a wierd crash i had about a month ago (couldn't even hold down power to make it turn off, had to flip the switch) had come up with and error the first time i tried to boot up again...something about CPU temp might be wrong, it freaked me out so i just reset and didn't get the error again. I just reset the bios to the defaults and now everything seems A OK...now the big test, gentoo, it'll take a while (trying to bootstrap the whole thing) but i'll get back and post the results.

(Oh by the way just so you all know the kernel didn't boot

/me is cursed) lol

Edit: Oh and to answer your question its an AMD Athlon xp 3000+ on an Asus A7N8X-E mobo

*Curses repeatadly...and loudly
Gah Gentoo failed to install, segmentation fault. What is going on here!
