It compiled and seems to run nicely. However, there is a problem that annoys me enough now to report. This is a problem for some time now, it is not a new one. But it seems to be a problem outside the kernel, read on. Have you tried to run "make menuconfig" on a 2.6.0testX in a gnome-terminal? It gets stuck, not always, but very often. The exact problem is that on a menu draw (e.g. on entering a submenu or going one level up) the gnome-terminal window is cleared (everything is repainted with the background color) but the newly selected menu does not appear. gnome-terminal starts (or tries to start) eating 100% CPU, starting another terminal window succeeds and runnig pstree in it shows this (I left the pids out): |-gnome-terminal---bash---pstree | |-bash---make---make---mconf---lxdialog | |-gnome-pty-helper Running kernel[-smp]-2.4.20-20.9 it does not happen. Closing the stuck window, the CPU usage drops. "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 make menuconfig" produces the same result. I am cc-ing Havoc Pennington (I found his address in gnome-terminal's About dialog), he may know where to fix or he can confirm that a newer gnome-terminal is already fixed. Using "make menuconfig" in a plain or color xterm, in Konsole or in the console, the problem does not occur. -- Best regards, Zolt?n B?sz?rm?nyi --------------------- What did Hussein say about his knife?
