I don't remember his last name. Most of the kernel compiled just fine until I got to the loader stage. I have tried the compile a number of times removing newer features I had included from the 2.5.4 configuration. It continually dies just after the ld stage. Here's the log: ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.5.4/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \ /usr/src/linux-2.5.4/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.5.4/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.5.4/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ drivers/base/base.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/pnp/pnp.o drivers/video/video.o \ net/network.o \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux drivers/char/char.o(.data+0x46b4): undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' drivers/net/net.o(.data+0x174): undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Once again could someone help the clewless?
