Please attach your .config

[Comment 2 ta2002 2005-01-11 10:40:01 UTC]

Created attachment 48225 [details]
As titled (I hope :) ), my .config file

I don't the "proper" way to attach a .config
(never done it before), so I used bzip2 to
compress it.

[Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-01-11 11:24:15 UTC]

Please just attach it as text/plain so that it is readable and easy to access.

[Comment 4 ta2002 2005-01-11 12:38:18 UTC]

Created attachment 48233 [details]
.config file (in text form)

Done.

[Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-01-12 11:21:31 UTC]

Can't reproduce here. EINVAL is quite an important define, sounds like something has gone missing. Could you try:

rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4
emerge gentoo-dev-sources

And try again..

[Comment 6 ta2002 2005-01-14 09:54:41 UTC]

OK, I did that (an also recompiled the entire system with
gcc 3.3.5). Somewhere, the problem disappeared. :)

I had (maybe) a similar problem during the recompile. In
one of the packages, one of the files just seemed completely
out to lunch. The compile crashed, but the problem
disappeared when I tried emerge --resume (without changing
anything).

I wonder if I have some kind of I/O (SATA) problem. Have to
actually boot with 2.6.10 (and that might solve it) to test
it further. Thanks.

[Comment 7 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-01-14 12:02:58 UTC]

I think you might be getting confused with something else. "emerging" a kernel does not compile anything, it just unpacks and moves the source files. Thanks for reporting this issue anyway.

[Comment 8 ta2002 2005-01-14 15:09:32 UTC]

> "emerging" a kernel does not compile anything

I understand that. I wonder if just unpacking all
of those files at once (on an SATA drive - and I
have had an issue with my SATA removable drive
since 2.6.7, though none with the fixed drive -
you might see another bug report soon on that if
2.6.10 does not solve the problem) occasionally
spits out a corrupted file.

Nothing worse than flaky (difficult to replicate)
bugs.
