** Bugs introduced by you patching your kernel are really not a gentoo problem. ** Having said that ... What kernel sources ebuild did you emerge? Getting seg faults during a kernel compile quite often is the result of bad memory or incorrectly seated memory. Run memtest86 as advised. If memtest86 runs OK then try and build a clean unpatched kernel, say vanilla-sources: emerge vanilla-sources ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 /usr/src/linux # adjust as appropriate cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install Once you have built, installed and booted the vanilla kernel, then try to emerge lm_sensors. If you still get errors with lm_sensors then file a bug stating what kernel sources ebuild you were trying to build lm_sensors against. If all that works then proceed to patch kernel and have another go. BTW, I hope you did actually issue a patch command after fetching the patch, eg: patch -p1 < linux-2.4.20-ptrace.patch
Well I later figured out how to patch the kernel - no I actually hadn't.... Yes, I was using the vanilla sources. As far as my memory goes, it looks like I had about 3888 failures in test 6 only (v. 2.9 of memtest86). I don't quite know what that means. I have an ASUS A7V motherboard, and 768MB PC-133 SDRAM (ECC disabled)
was memory issue with local pc.
