I'm seeing this kind of corruption during the tar zxf. $ tar zxf linux-2.4.0-test11.tar.gz gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Currently running kernel is 2.4.0-test11-ac4 and the file is correct. After the reboot there is no problem with uncompressing this file. It possible that this problem is fixed with test12-pre3, but in case its not I'm reporting this now (this already happend to me at least three times with this kernel - also there are no messages in the kernel log. -- There are three types of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.
