Hi folks,
when booting pre5 I got a crc-error while uncompressing
the kernel this morning. (/usr/src/linux/lib/inflate.c:1166 AFAICS)
Rebooting didn't trigger it again and it's the first time I ever saw it.
I've never had any SIG11 problems while compiling kernels so I wouldn't
expect bad RAM. (Normal people probably run Seti@home,
I run "while make bzImage; do date >> /tmp/kcompile; make clean; done"
;-)
OTOH, it's not reproducable which seems an indicator for hardware
trouble :-(
Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi,
I would suggest to increase the 8bit waitstates in the BIOS by +1 (or
more). - you might have to increase the 16bit waitstates as well (or
instead of the 8bit ones).
It cured such a problem for me: - A Intel Pentium PC that had run Netware
3.12 perfectly happily for years didn't boot up with a CRC error after
installing RedHat 7.0 on it. - Increasing the 8bit waitstates from 1 to 2
cured the problem completely and the PC is rocksolid now. - The PC also
ran Windows quite happily (I installed it after the trouble with Linux
just to see if it would work - I was worried about the hardware having
gone dodgy.)
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anton
