I'm trying to install a fresh Gentoo Linux (stage 3) on a Pentium III machine. I'm following the steps from the handbook (I was successful on cuple of PII machines (linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3, stage3)) I can succesfully emerge gentoo-sources. I can make menuconfig. When I run make && make modules_install it soon ends with error: gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1) Similar error occurs with genkernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install a fresh Gentoo Linux stage 3 (linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r8) 2.compile kernel 3. Actual Results: Comilation soon ended with Internal error Expected Results: Compile the kernel PC Pentium III 450 MHz, 384 MB RAM, ATA HDD 8 GB ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at :65386! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: floppy rtc evdev 3c59x mii parport_pc parport ahci sata_qstor sata_uli sata_sis sata_sx4 sata_nv sata_via sata_svw sata_sil sata_promise libata dm_mirror dm_mod sbp2 ohci1394 ieee1394 sl811_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd usb_storage usbhid ehci_hcd usbcore CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c013b423>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010296 (2.6.11-gentoo-r3) eax: fffff000 ebx: c1215b80 ecx: c1215b80 edx: c1215b80 esi: 00000000 edi: 00000020 ebp: 000ed000 esp: d36d7e78 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process cc1 (pid: 8595, threadinfo=d36d6000 task=d6c820a0) Stack: c0135a28 c1215b80 d1f6a3b4 40400000 40500000 d2aad404 00000000 c0135b05 c1304340 d2aad404 40400000 00100000 00000000 40400000 d2aad404 40500000 00000000 c0135b49 c1304340 d2aad404 40400000 00100000 00000000 40500000 Call Trace: [<c0135a28>] [<c0135b05>] [<c0135b49>] [<c0135bbd>] [<c0135cb6>] [<c0139afb>] [<c0112a70>] [<c01166e0>] [<c011697e>] [<c0102157>] Code: 6a 01 6a 10 e8 ed 33 ff ff 59 58 c3 8b 54 24 04 8b 02 f6 c4 08 74 02 0f 0b f0 83 42 08 ff 0f 98 c0 84 c0 74 13 8b 42 08 40 79 02 <0f> 0b 6a ff 6a 10 e8 c0 33 ff ff 58 5a c3 55 57 56 53 83 ec 0c gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report.

If you repeatedly emerge the kernel, does the error always occur in exactly the same place, with the same message, on the same file, or in slightly different places each time? Also, please post the output of 'emerge info'.
If I repeat the "make && make modules_install" command I get the same error (gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1)) but on DIFFERENT files - it occurs in slightly different places each time.

Well, getting a failure at different places each time suggests a hardware problem. I recommend checking Bug 20600 for possible causes of this.
I have found the following: I'm not overclocking anything, it is not possible - it is an Intel motherboard. The hardware seems to be OK, at least each individual component seems to be OK. WinXP runs on the SAME configuration without any problem. However combination with Pentium III on this Intel MB has problems with linux (gcc internal errors while compiling the kernel). I changed the processor to PII 350 and it works fine! That's it. Thanks.
