Hi, I am at the moment trying to build the kernel (2.0.34) I have configured it (make xconfig, then ran make mrproper as advised by a post in the mail archives on this problem, and then done make zImage, and it comes up with this error after a long time:
./xtract /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/vmlinux | gzip -9 | ./piggyvack > piggy.o Non-GCC header of 'system' Compressed size 20. ld -qmagic -Ttext 0xfe0 -o vmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000fe0 misc.o: In function 'fill_inbuf': misc.o(.text+0x1ebc): undefined reference to 'input_data' misc.o(.text+0x1ec1 : undefined reference to 'input_len' misc.o(.text+0x1ed7): undefined reference to 'input_data' make[2]: ***[vmlinuz] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/arch/i386/boot/compressed' I noticed that it said 'Non-GCC header of 'system'' Which I think could be significant, although a non Gcc header should not stop gcc reading it. I know this has been on this newsgtoup before, but I have tried the only solution given, and it doesn't work. Thanks *very* much Peter Allen
