I'd love to help you. You are really not providing enough useful information.
You are much more likely to get a response by providing as much information as
possible. It is unlikely that any of us are phychic.
First: Your hardware. What's your setup? Who makes your controllers etc.
Second: Are you using SLS? MCC? If so, which version. How did you go about
upgrading? If you are not using SLS or MCC, when did you grab your binutils and
such like?
I'd have written this through email, but I don't have mail access from work.
