When I tried to compile linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r2 it aborted with the error message listed in 'actual results'. Strangely, after I restarted the compile (make) it compiled cleanly. CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem. make[2]: *** [drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/cdrom] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 Expected Results: kernel should have compiled cleanly Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 9 2005, 20:15:34) ] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.19-r1, 2.4.21-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X1 1/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/ config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.uni-erlan gen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions /gentoo http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fh t-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib alsa apache2 apm avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl dga directfb doc dvd emboss encode esd f77 fam flac foomatic db fortran ftp gdbm gif gimp gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib java jpeg junit libwww mad mikmod mime motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pdfli b perl php plotutils png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl slang spell ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fon ts unicode usb xine xml xml2 xmms xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS

Sounds like a hardware problem, have you tested your memory lately? If it's not easily reproducable theres not much we can do, sorry.
