Hi,
When booting 2.4.17-rc1, the following text appears:
-------------------------------------------- BEGIN --
Loading 2.4.17-rc1.............
Uncompressing Linux...
ran out of input data
-- System halted
--------------------------------------------- END ---
This has never occured to me before. I'm compiling -rc1 now on another box
(with a different gcc - mine is 2.96-85 - yes, RedHat packaged it) to make
sure this isn't due to gcc.

I would rather spend 10 hours reading someone else's source code than
10 minutes listening to Musak waiting for technical support which
isn't. ~(Wettstein)

A kernel compiled with a different gcc went very well. I found it strange
that the gcc I previously used (which I always use for compiling) gave that
error, so I recompiled it with that compiler and rebooted... which went
alright.
I can only guess what has mishappened. My /boot was full, but I hardly think
this was the problem.
Oh well, it goes well now, no need to complain, do I? ;-)

so now which version of gcc worked and which failed exactly?

Both (3.0.1 and 2.96-85, the RedHat-one) worked, that's just whats weird
about it (to me).

Check your installed kernel image, it may be truncated. This just
happened to me using kernel-image .deb: only part of the kernel image
got unpacked.
